I used one skein Handmaiden SeaSilk in the Ireland colorway and size 7 needles.
(Yarn found here.)
With the help of this chart, this truly was a painless, quick lace project.
As you know, I'm not a huge fan of variegated yarn, so the Ireland colorway, although beautiful, made me a little nervous. I have to say that I'm quite pleased with the result though. I think that the colors blended nicely and fairly evenly across the piece.

I love the sheen and drape of this gorgeous yarn.
I definitely will be working with it again in the future.
Lace shawls are so addicting! I'm already looking at more patterns!

Soooo breathtaking beautiful.....and I have that yarn in my stash! I'd bought it for a wrap....love how it knit up! Yes, I've been addicted to shawls too lately!
Lovely. I'm just starting Swallowtail and seeing your Gail is very motivating. Thanks for sharing!
This is gorgeous! Every time I block a piece of lace, it is like watching magic! I love to block lace...I only wish I had more space, and that my cats had less of a taste for yarn! lol!
It's beautiful! Love that yarn, and lace shawls are totally addicting.
Such a beautiful shawl! I just love the colors that blend so perfectly with the pattern.

Yes, Gail is a lovely shawl, and I love the green colour.
Very beautiful shawl. The greens are amazing!
I'm on a lace shawl roll myself now and have to put this one in my queue. Beautiful yarn and the photographs are making me drool. Just exquisite.
So lacy and beautiful. I'm having a go at a beginner's shawl and really enjoying it too. I'm already thinking of making another when this one is done. I like how light they are for hot climates - and I agree they would be handy in cool air-conditioned buildings.

This is absolutely gorgeous!! I will definately get some of this yarn, although I am not real good at lace and horrible at reading charts.
