At last, I can post this. I actually finished knitting it last week and blocked it last weekend. However, it was a mystery knit and to preserve the mystery, I couldn't post it until the pattern was published, which it was this morning.
The pattern is Polaris by Susannah IC.
Yarn is Posh Yarn Sadie Lace Weight, colourway is Drowning in Tears.
I love the yarn and the beads match exactly. Either the pattern was a bit more difficult than it looked or I suffered a lot from bad luck. This has fallen off the needles twice and is currently holding the record for the greatest number of times I have unpicked a single item.
I can't do justice to the colour in the photographs. Its the most amazing green-ey, greyish, bluish shade with a purple cast in places. Absolutely delicious. The yarn is 50% tencel and 50% merino so its a bit more drapey and slippery than previous shawls I've made. Its also lovely and shiny. It stays put though, and isn't one of those garments that have to be constantly fiddled with to keep them in place.
I wore it with a jacket and scoop neck top earlier in the week and it was just right for giving a touch of luxury to an otherwise not so exciting outfit.
I didn't use up all of the skein so I will probably use the remaining yarn to make a smaller neckerchief style item at some point.

Very pretty!
Such a beautiful shawl. I hope you feel it is worth the re-knitting, because it looks amazing.
