From Knitty.com: “The pattern does appear to be very long but it is very simple. The numerous sections are due to the V shaping. If you prefer the traditional triangular shawl shape one can be made from the instructions as well (see pattern notes).”

“Ella is the perfect compliment for any goddess and a surprisingly speedy knit. This is also a very forgiving pattern. If you find you are short one stitch in a section, make one using a bar increase; likewise, if you have too many stitches, work a k2tog or p2tog (yes, I do have an aversion to tinking).”
