I think the stitch pattern itself is called "fir cone", though I'm not sure I've actually seen a fir cone that looks like this. It's nicely evocative, though.

Fully pinned and blocked. I wish I'd take a "before" photo, when it was a cute, puffy mass of blue:

pattern: Shetland Triangle by Evelyn Clark, from Wrap Style
yarn: Elsbeth Lavold Silky Wool
needles: size 8 addi circs
knit May 1-5, mostly while watching Sharpe's Rifles etc.
I wanted to get a picture wearing it before blogging it, then thought the better of it - do I really want to blog a picture of my butt, albeit topped by lace? I think not.

Could you tell me how many balls you needed for this shawl?
Thanks javede
Your shawl came out looking so lovely. The Icarus looks like it's coming along really well too. I love the colours you've used for both.
