Out of the blue, I got this idea for a garter stitch striped shawl. The idea was pretty insistent, and since it had the bonus of using up stash, I decided it was only logical to give it a go.

The stripe sequence was the hard part, my OCD brain was insisting on something logical, even though the human race is far from logical. It didn’t help that I was determined to use equal amounts of each color.

This is the rectangular version of Logic Dictates.
