I introduce Elation:
It's an easy shawlette pattern. Just garter stitch and eyelets. No charts, no purling. Just easy, breezy knitting. Perhaps my favorite kind. :)
Elation is available as a Ravelry download for just $4.00. It takes a skein of just about any kind of sock yarn. Around 400 yards should do.
C'mon, you know you want it knit one.
