This is a shawl I knitted two winters ago. It's a version of Lyn Johnson's 'Once More From the middle' shawl from the book 'Yarn Arts'. Each stripe is a different yarn and stitch (though a number of the plainer stitches are repeated in various stripes). I ended up using three circular needles, one for each side of the shawl and one as a working needle. It's great but I have trouble keeping shawls on - I love it though and everyone admires it. It's rather warm! It looks better as a throw than a shawl, maybe I should take a hint from that...
