This is the Feather Lace Shawl by Gardiner Yarn Works.  It worked up pretty quickly and easily.  I had a couple of issues but they were user errors.  After frogging it a couple of times I got the hang of the structure of the lace pattern and it went just fine.  The yarn is Gingko by ArtFibers.  It’s mostly bamboo with a thread of silk wrapped around it.  I love the colors and it is super-soft.

This picture is what it looks like straight off the needles–nice but kind of floppy and there is no definition to the lace.  Next photo is after I pinned it out for blocking.  You’ll notice that there is a lot more definition and there’s a crispness to it.  What’s wonderful is that after it dries, it will stay that way.  Nothing short of miraculous~  Sorry about the color variations.  I just didn’t have the patience to fiddle with it anymore.  The first one is probably closest to what it looks like in real life.
