It's done, actually it's been done for a couple of weeks but we had alot of rain and I couldn't get any decent photos, I did 5 repeats of the main pattern...and size wise I thought it was huge, but actually it's only 2 inches wider across the top than the one in the pattern (66 inches)It's a really nice pattern to knit, especially if you like following written instructions....I worked without lifelines, but it was just one of those designs I could actually read!
It also goes to show it doesn't matter how thick and thin your handspun is when it comes to some lace patterns, as the yarn was far from perfect, as thin as lace in some places and like dk in others, but I did spin quite alot of this yarn while demonstrating at the Alpaca Festival back in April.

My O'My, Little Sis, I just saw this over on Ravelry and it just caught my breath, so very beautiful, and I can just imagine how soft and warm it must feel. I'm so very proud of you and your brilliant lace knitting skilz! That should keep your shoulders and/or neck (if you use it scarf like) good and properly cozy!
YAY YOU!!!!!
XOXOX
It looks stunning. And lace, without lifelines? Respect!
