Ocean inspired swatching

Our fabulous week at the beach with extended family is (sadly) over, but I came home with a real need to design and knit a rectangular shawl for my dear Aunt Mary, who made the gathering possible. 

This pattern is in my trusty 400 stitches dictionary, and it's perfect. I've also worked out a pointy border to match up with the 12 row pattern.  (Hooray for graph paper)

The shawl is cast on in a vibrant red that will suit her to a T!
