Gravitation is a pretty solid, no-lace triangle shawl with pretty good stripes. The design combines contrasting textures and contrasting colors. It also combines triangle-shawl techniques for a more interesting knitting process, although none of the technical interest makes it technically difficult.

(This is related a little to the cowl version. Want a more challenging project? Prefer a cowl? Want both? Try Gravitation Cowl.)
