Two of a KindMy newest lace design is Two Of A Kind which is a semicircular shawl, knitted in the way you knit normal triangular shawls but it's got 3 triangles instead of the normal two.
This one has the leaf pattern at the sides and flower lace in the middle, but you can reverse that.
Pixie knitted this one in my Cashmere Lace and I'm knitting the other version in Luscious Lace but I'm only halfway through mine.
Here are some pics. Sorry they're so big.
I've also started up a new Lace Variety Club and sign ups for the first month will close in a day or two. See my Etsy shop listing for full details.

Thank you everyone and Gilraen, it's an easy knit. My test knitter, who knitted up the version shown, did it in just over a week. It's knitted just like any triangular shawl that starts at the top but instead of two triangles you knit 3.
I'm really on a roll now. Have charted up a new lace shawl design today and I'm swatching. Also got charts and plans for another two and ofcourse there are my shawl design in Yarn Forward.

It's not that difficult Liz and doesn't take forever. Pixie, who knitted the sample for me, did it in a week but she's a super knitter. The flower lace pattern takes some concentrating but the leaf lace is very, very easy. Think it's similar (or may be the same) as Forest Canopy.
It's the blocking you need patience for. Blocking makes a huge difference between a gorgeous lace shawl and a bad one. This one nearly doubled in size which really surprised me. And it's not knitted on tiny needles either, 3.75mm, and the yarn isn't too think either (about 800m/100gr, so it's not a cobweb weight). What I'm saying it's not scary at all.
