First big lace project???

I was checking out the new patterns on Ravelry today and one caught my eye: The Wings of Horus. For those who know me, this will not come as a great shock :P Its a knit-a-long for a shawl but I won't know what the final product looks like until it is done. It didn't take long before I decided to go for it and sign up for this secret KAL. I have e-mailed my request to be part of it, hopefully I will receive a confirmation e-mail soon. It starts April 17th and comes in 6 parts.

I was going to hold out and wait till I went to the Needle Emporium before looking for yarn but Knit Picks has some cheap lace weight yarn (also where I got the yarn for my sweater) and since I will need 1500 yards of it ...I purchased it there (shadow lace yarn jewels heather 100% Merino). I requested that a signature be required for delivery so hopefully Canada Post will not leave it in front of my building like they did the last time *le sigh*
