They both look fab Bernie. Smile  I knit everything on circs too, but because of the heavy thing, not the nipple thing!! Laughing

Very nice  Very Happy  I especially love the colour of the icarus shawl.  It's on my to-do list - is it hard?

They are both looking lovely.

[quote+"Aknita"]How anyone can knit lace on a circular needle is beyond me [/quote]

Since I bought my set of Boyes needles, I use circulars for everything too.  I particularly liked circulars for the lace things I've done because I found the yarn didn't stick on the needles, as it had on my bamboo straights.

Sorry about that KLB!  Did you like the diagram?  Twisted Evil  took me all of 5 mins!

CJ ->It's not hard at all.  the pattern has written instructions and chart instructions and I'm working from the chart.

I find it really hard to count my stitches on circulars. The knitting bit is fine, the counting defeats me!

I was with Franney at Ally pally when she made a similar remark about needles and boobies! You should have seen this poor woman's face .........lol:
