knitting on the diagonal

Cast on 3, on the next row k1, yo, k1, yo; knit one row. Next row, k2, yo; knit back. Continue increasing two stitches from the end on every right side row, knit all wrong-side rows. When the work is as wide as you want the shawl to be tall (ie, from the nape to the point) change colors on a plain knit row, then start decreasing on right side rows by dint of (k2tog, yo, k2tog, k1) at the end where you've been increasing. When you have 3 stitches left break the yarn and run it thru to secure the stitches. Darn in the ends. Done.

I agree! I sent it on to myself for future reference... something to play around with.
