After approximately one year of knitting, on and off, as I worked on socks and things for gifts & etc., I finished the "Cozy" [see knitty.com] in laceweight.
It's washed and blocking now, and it's lovely. If I say so myself.
I used a merino single, very, very soft with a bit of halo. It's in an almost (but not quite) varigated aqua, incorporating shades of chartreuse, turquoise and sky blue. The original pattern calls for a tweedy worsted, but I used this...not that I didn't think the worsted was a good idea, but I didn't think I had enough in one color.
The resulting wrap/shawl is a rectangle, 5' by about 2.5'.
It should be dry tomorrow, and I can't wait to wear it.
Now to finish my 30s sweater and get the baby sweater off the needles!

Cozy is very warm, you'll be pleased. It's my go-to shawl in our notoriously chilly office.
