I have returned. We got married. It was great. I will post pictures when I have them, including pictures of my fabbo wedding shawl.
On an administrative note, I still haven't heard from Karen B., winner of the blog contest. Karen, please get in touch!
Update: Karen has been located, and the yarn will soon be making its way to her by postal shark. Woot!

Drumroll, Please!
ETA: Karen, I don't have your contact info! Please email me at lanafactrixATgmail.com.
And the winner is . . . Karen B, who wrote "I like "clinker" or "lapstrake" because the lines remind me of viking-style ships."
She was spot on in her comparison, don't you think?
Lapstrake it is!
Honorable mentions include:
Hotline from Terri D
Lines of Lloyd from Tivity
Take Offs and Landings from Kaitlin (perhaps she is also a Rilo Kiley fan?)
Matrix from Joy
Vector from OneTwistedStitch
Electrical Alternans from Wendy
Thank you all so much for your participation--I totally know where I'm coming the next time I'm stuck on a pattern name.

Wherein You Do My Work for Me
So here's the deal, my darlings. I need to name this:
It's a fingering-weight shawl, made with one skein of Heather's Favorite Sock Yarn.
Here are some more pictures, for your reference:
I simply can't think of what to call it, which is where you come in.
Leave a comment with your naming suggestion on this post, and the person whose name I choose will receive a skein of Wollmeise.
This is a skein of Wollmeise Pure (100% superwash merino, 150g), in the colorway "Gluckstag" ("Lucky Day.") (Not incidentally, it would work wonderfully to knit the pattern above.)
HERE ARE SOME RULES:
1) Eligible comments must be submitted by no later than midnight PST Thursday, August 21.
2) Multiple entries are welcome, but only one skein of yarn will be awarded.
3) Anyone may enter, but an international winner will not permitted to bitch about how slow the mail is.
4) I like pithy names that suit the item in question. No profanity or lewdness, please. (Subtle innuendo is okay.)
Go ye forth and name!
And have one more gratuitous Gozer photo:
