Fascinating! I've only seen it done in fairly contrasty colours, so yours looks very different.
For a shawl, getting gauge/tension is not usually critical... It only really matters if you're knitting a shawlette (say) and end up with a head kerchief, or something that's meant to be 'large' and ends up 'enormous'. If that worries you.
