Fork. Done. Etc.
It started with beautiful yarn that, if you recall, I could not put down despite doctor's orders to the contrary. Three months later, Debi's gift of Diakeito Diamusee Fine, color 116, evolved first into damp, then blocked lace:

Then, all stretched out, it dried overnight into the Forest Canopy Shoulder Shawl:

Finished dimensions: 54 x 32 inches
Needles: Addi Lace Circular, size 6 US
I made no modifications to the easy to follow pattern, which I would heartily recommend for those new to either lace or chart reading. The only thing I did was to add repeats as suggested by the designer, since I was using fingering rather than the sport weight yarn called for in the pattern.
