υφἠ {ee-FEE} :: textured

Have you seen the Textured Knitted Triangle Shawl pattern?  I love it, and one day I'll get yarn to make one exactly like Orlane's, but for now using up my stash takes priority.  I had part of a skein and a unicorn tail of some lovely Tosh Merino Light leftover from my Chauncey Sweater, which was just the thing.  Here's my inspired version, which I call υφἠ, meaning "textured" in Greek.  I'm including the pattern below--I changed the texture stitch so that the two halves would be mirror images.  I hope the directions are clear. 

If you knit a shawl using the pattern, I'd love to see it!  Please comment below and link back to your version.
