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.
