I really took my time to blog about my FOs right? Anyways, Kimono was finished before Louise got home, and managed to show her how nice Zephyr is for a shawl project. 
Pattern: Kimono from Folk Shawls
Yarn: Jaggerspun Zephyr, Lady Slipper, <4oz
Needle: Inox 3.5mm
Size: N/A
Time to finish: less than 2 weeks.
I did a few more repeats than required since there's more than enough yarn. Zephyr has amazing yardage. I had also switched needle size, 3.5mm has been my favourite size for lace shawls. This stole is not well blocked, which is a little disappointment. All it needs is to be stretched out by the blocking wires. If only someone can send me a set, I would be forever grateful!
I've a few mistake during the beginning, but they were not vital. I did rip back a few rows during of the meetups cuz I mess up the stitch counts. It was painful but still bearable. The pattern only became part of me after 10 repeats, so I would say its an easy pattern to memorise. Mistakes like forgotten yarnovers are easy to fix, so fret not.

Lovely!
Hey Lois, we can be shawl sisters, if I'm not mistaken mine is in ladyslipper colour too :)
sharp and beautiful. lovely colour.
Beautiful - great color. I love this pattern...
Beautiful! How many yards did you use?
Wow, that looks gorgeous and so complicated!
Gorgeous shawl - there are just not enough hours in the day for all the wonderful lace out there waiting to be knitted!
As for the blocking wires - maybe we can arrange a back and forth swap between the two of us once the "anti-wool" swap is over? That is, assuming the postal gods would let me send a long sknny tube of metal wires half-way around the world!
Just to confirm, your non-wool surprise is on its way!
Have some knitterly fun today - from your swap buddy
Lois, I could send you blocking wires as well. You're in Singapore, right? Let me know if you need any help. I don't know what I would do without mine.
That's super fast! lovely colour!
wow wow, this is super gorgeous!
that's a beautiful shawl!!! i dont think i can manage to finish it within 2 weeks?? bet you're a super duper fast knitter.
This is so lovely, as always. Great job.
I bought some of the blocking wires and you are welcome to use them, but I have to mail them (or else fold them in half-NOT!) because they are too long to fit in my suitcase :(
