I used almost 450m of Knitwitches 100% pure Cashmere DK, shade Jungle Jade on 5.5mm needles with an added edging of KidSilk Haze colour Fern #629. It should be greener but my photoshop skills are not great.
I used the KSH double and worked two rows garter stitch with increases on the first row about every 5 stitches then five rows of stocking stitch . Then knit f&b in every stitch, purl next row and cast off with a loose lace cast-off.
The last photo is taken before I blocked it and I have to confess that the first was taken in error on the wrong side and I just didn't notice and now can't face redoing the pictures. It's a major operation in this household right now.I'm well on the way to completing the next one - in Handmaiden Sea Silk colour ebony and this is going to have a frilly border too. It's a very fast knit - a week or so...

Georgeous, Karthyrn! I love the contrast using the Kidsilk Haze.
I have this pattern book, but haven't knitted anything from it... yet. I fancy the Wool Peddlers, and might actually knit in the traditional red.
err, I mean, 'gorgeous'!
This should be totally yummy to wear! This color green goes with so many colors. I love to wear shawls, they are so versatile.

That is beautiful, the colour, the shape everything. I look forward to seeing the next one.
It's lovely - what gorgeous colours!
It's beautiful! I really like the idea of using KSH for a frilly edging. It makes for a perfect finish and the yarn you've used is gorgeous, too!
Beautiful shawl, love the KSH edging. Just added this book to my wish-list!
