Can't wait to start the Hanami---

I downloaded the pattern yesterday and I already ordered my yarn from Webs-- I picked the pink Misti Alpaca lace, which is one of my all-time-favorite yarns. I got an extra ball (total of 3) so I can make the shawl a little wider-- and I guess I have until the 31st to look at the pattern and figure out what will be needed to make the repeats come out even through all the charts! Not sure if I will be lengthening or not-- but this pattern is so pretty that I am sure I will actually wear this one so I want to be happy with how it drapes. I think lace shawls are beautiful but I haven't worn the ones I have made so far-- this shawl is way more my style.
It should be fun to see everyone's progress.
