I just finished my Icarus in the Graceful - same color as yours (Diane mentioned it in her comment on 9/14). You can see how it looks finished on my blog (http://no-blog-rachels-blog.blogspot.com). It's lovely to knit with - the only thing I recommend is that you use sharp-pointed needles with the yarn - I used Addi lace needles, and others say Knitpicks needles are good too. Don't worry about the lace thing- this was my first real lace project and it really wasn't hard at all. :) Hey Lolly!

If you want to see how that colorway (3627) in GRACEFUL is working up in that pattern check out http://no-blog-rachels-blog.blogspot.com/2007/07/decadence-and-lacy-progress.html .

I'm planning to knit Icarus as my first lace shawl, though I haven't started it yet. I'll definitely let you know how it goes. No suggestions for the laceweight, but dang it sure is beautiful!
