I've finished the Lace Shawl at last. Instead of using the Rowan Kidsilk Haze, I used 4 skeins of Esslinger Wolla Angora Princess (80% angora bunny, 20% lambswool; 103yds/20g) in #04 (a deep blue). And instead of 3mm beads, I used 4mm beads due to the yarn change. It turned out wonderfully, although blocked it is a little bit wider (instead of 15.5 inches it's 18 inches wide) but I'm not the least bit bothered by that. Anyway, this project was a great knit; easy enough for a lace beginner, but not mind numbing either. On to the photos! (There's a small mistake at the end, but it's nothing the cry over, and backing up such a hazy yarn is nearly impossible).
