Mystery Shawl CAL :-D, Part I

Hehee...two blog entries in two days! How cool is that?! Anyway, there are some gals at the CLF on Ravelry who are literally itching to get their fingers going on this mystery shawl. So, let's get going!!

All you need (so far as I know) is the equivalent of 3 balls of Paton's Lacette (a laceweight yarn), which is a total of 705 yds./645 m., plus a G/4.25mm crochet hook (or, you can go larger if you want an even more lacy look).

Anyway, y'all ready?
