Shawl Pattern Settled

I have decided to save the Mountain Peaks pattern for another shawl at a later time. (I have a couple yet-to-be-purchased color ideas for it also.)

Tales of running out of yarn, or nearly running out of yarn on the border is what decided me, since I barely have 600 yards of the black.

Instead I picked a pattern out of a shawl book that I already own. It's in the style of the Faroe Islands, but knit top-down instead of bottom up. That way I can stop whenever I think that the yarn is running too short to finish another pattern repeat.
