I bought this yarn at WEBS in order to shamelessly copy a sample project, and only slightly later did I realize it was sort of MIT colors. The name of the knitting pattern itself is "The Joker and the Thief", which meant that I had to title the project in Ravelry "The Monkey or the Eel". (Eon had the same reaction I did, so my instinct was justified!). It can pretend to be a scarf instead of a shawl, but see here for a picture of it blocked flat where you can see the whole thing more clearly.
