I'm in!
Hi everybody,
I'm starting a bit late, but so it goes. I began on the 3rd, and I've just begun the second repeat of the main pattern. Thanks to all of you for posting and thus warning me of the decrease issues -- you made my life a bit easier.
I'm working on a huge skein of Skacel merino lace (anyone ever used this?), in a handsome teal. The yarn band claims that the skein has 1375 yards, so it should be enough for the stole. There's no recommended needle size, but like Eunny I tend to prefer smaller needles, so I'm working on US1s (2.25mm).
Back to it....

Welcome! I've never used the Skacel lace before (actually never used a Skacel yarn before), but if it's a 100g skein, it sounds exactly comparable to the Merino Oro I'm using. I'm using 2.00mm needles (pictures below), and I really like the gauge I'm getting, fairly solid but blooms beautifully when stretched.
