Ooh that's lovely! I want to make myself a shawl too, for telly-sprawling and those nights where my shoulders just will not get warm in bed. I was thinking about trying this one (http://tiajudy.com/faroese.htm).
Be a bit easier if it had the actual pattern there! Or am I just not finding it? It does look pretty.
Another thing I'm knitting right now is a mohair evening scarf. Just garter stitch, with largish needles to give a nice open lacy effect, and about 40-50cm wide, hard to tell exactly cos it's scrunched up on the needles at the moment.
She doesn't give the pattern but she does give the name of the woman who translated the book, and putting that into Amazon got me the relevant answer quite quickly - it's this one (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0942018125/). Looks like I might have to get it from a library, but the detective work is done at least :)
...crikey, and according to the local libraries catalogue I might even wind up having to try the UL. I wonder if they'd have books of knitting patterns translated from Faroese?
