I understand the concern about the correct gauge, but when knitting a
shawl or afghan IMHO gauge really doesn't matter too much. I have had
the experience of going up a size to make the item have a softer hand,
but other than that the size didn't matter too much.

I am just curious as to why the exact same pattern knit with the same
yarn would state 6 mm needles on one site, and 8 mm on another. I can
see a difference of one size, but 6 to 8's is a pretty big jump.

I believe the pattern was one size, but the gauge listed on the yarn label was the other size. This is pretty typical, I usually see different size needles used for a pattern than is on the label.
