Woo-hoo! I took my newest shawl off the blocking board this morning. Isn't she a beauty?It's an easy and fast knit that looks a lot more complex than it really is. It doesn't take a lot of yarn. I knit this small shoulder shawl with a 350 yard skein of Mountain Colors Weavers Wool quarters (dk) on size 8 needles.
I'm in the process of finishing the pattern, but I can't come up with a name for it.
Anyone want to take a shot at naming it? If some one can come up with a name I like, I'll give them a free copy of the pattern.
You have until Friday, February 22 to send in a name(s).

I would say Pyramid Hearts, or Hearts of the Pyramid
I like CUPID'S ARROWS because the large arrow points remind me of arrow heads and, with the hearts, surely the arrows belong to Cupid!
All my Love Shawl maybe? I like the Cupid's Arrows though. :)
hearts a flutter - pretty shawl
It's. . . well, LOVEly! :)
To me, it suggests connections and reflects how each of us are connected to each other by love.
Therefore, I'd call it something like Love Connection or Heartstrings. Or go all exotic and do something like Cordes de Coeur (heartstrings in French). :)
What struck me is the architectural detail...kind of Frank Lloyd Wrightish, but also very wing-like. So it could honor/refer to both FL Wright and the Wright brothers flight? and it would be the "Wright" shawl for me to knit for first shawl, I think
Well, there are 18 hearts along the edges, so I'd suggest "18 Carat Love Shawl"
Very pretty.
I see hearts and steps so I was thinking "Stepping into Love"
How about Giza, as in pyramids of?"
Eros Diamond Ladder Shawl
Lovely design. How about "Stairway to My Heart"
It looks like a Manta Ray with its wings spread, although I know that doesn't really say anything about the clever hearts in the border.
I have 2 suggestions!
love-in-idleness
or
Hathor's Pyramids (Hathor was the Egyptian Goddess of Love)
BelovedOne on ravelry
Etruscan. :)

Heartfelt Steps
I found your contest through Ravelry. The shawl looks very architectural to me, and the clean lines remind me of Frank Lloyd Wright, so I'll call it Wright Angles.
Hay Ride.
I should be automatically disqualified from this contest, because upon first viewing, I completely missed the clever little hearts.
I was more focused on the triangles, which put me in mind of Machu Picchu, which might be a good name, except that it does nothing to call attn to the hearts.
SO after collecting my tangential thoughts, I came up with Peruda in honor of the Incan goddess of love.
Linear Nouveau
Intersections of the Heart.....the heart loves in many ways and different intersections in life take you in different directions on the journey. Beautiful design.
Unchained Melody? Unchain My Heart...I don't know.
I see Aztec when I look at your very lovely shawl!
Hearts Entwined. Love the design.
Pillars of Love
I think "Intersections" myself... it is a beauty!
Love Grows!
my first thought was Aztec..but i see someone else suggested that, so i will go with "Aztec Hearts"
It looks to me like 4 tiered wedding cakes (or just cake)and the trim of hearts. "Wedding Wishes" or "The way to a mans heart" " i love cake!" very nice design...kudos!
I saw Egypt and the Great Pyramids when I saw the shawl, so here's my name for it
Hieroglyphics
Celtic Hearts
They say that the moon will be blood red tomorrow for the lunar eclipse, so I'm going to go for that....Lunar Eclipse.
hmmmmm, Hearts' Wings?
it's amazing! i can't believe it was only 350 yards!
I'm in the camp that saw the architectural elements. How about Modern Deco-- a current version of an Art Deco idea. bev
it reminds me so much of the log cabin quilt variation called Courthouse Steps. that could actually flow right along with the hearts theme and the idea of couples happy on the courthouse steps...
I would say ''Twist of the Hearts''
love
ferda
Twisted Hearts
Twisted Love
I can see the wings....so how about "Wings of Flight"
It is lovely and even if I don't win, I think when you have this available for sale I will get it!
To me it looks like 2 Stealth Fighters, but the hearts say Love, not War, so my name for it would be Make Love, Not War.
Beautiful! I'd say Wings of the Heart!
Cupid's Bow?
Ladybird
I like the name "Interwtined", because of the way the lines that made the hearts intertwine... Just like the hearts and lives of those we love.
I really like your shawl. How about Connected at the Heart, or Love's Entanglements, or Spread the Love, or even Straight from the Heart.
This reminded me of the geometry my son has been working on in 6th grade where they fit shapes together - tesselation. How about that?
Tesselation
Phoenix.
"Inca Steps" if I won this pattern I would knit it in fine alpaca as this would seem very appropriate
Pheonix Rising - it looks like Native American wing art to me.
That is lovely. I agree with the architectural feeling of it. What comes to mind for me as a name is perhaps "Cityscape," or if you want to refer to the hearts as well, perhaps "Heart of the City."
Beautiful!
How about "Arms of Love"
Pythagorean Love or just Pythagorea or something like that.
Vicki
The shawl is gorgeous! Waht a combination of color andd esign to make this POP!
It's striking yet so very simple and uncomplicated. Makes me think "Hearts Afire" would be a good name.
How about...
Foundations of Love or
Love Span
I am so not good at these kind of things.I would love to have one so I am suggesting Heart's Desire.
Interlocks of Love? I don't know exactly. I do know it's a work of art.
Love Kite Shawl. To me it looks like two beautiful kites floating in the air. It's lovely!!!!
I see hearts and diamonds and rectangles. All diamond engagement stone shapes. How about Carot Cuts?
or
