Emerald Isle...
I started on Monday evening and have already got as far as the 4th chart ( out of 6). This is an absolute dream to knit and I'm using the recommended yarn - Jaggerspun Zephyr in Basil.
My trusty Denise's have been dusted off for this and so far, all is going well.
Here's a close up shot - not the best, I know but you get the idea..

Gill your Icarus shawl looks stunning. I'm not brave enough for that :( but maybe one day who knows........
The Emerald Isle is looking great - do you find the Denises pointy enough for lace?
Don't be afraid of Icarus - there's a fair bit of stocking stitch and the lace sections at the end aren't at all scary!!
I find the Denise's are fine for using with Jaggerspun and I like the thicker cords. The yarn catches slightly sometimes at the join, but not enough to irritate.
You have been making some pretty shawls lately!
