Also it was totally wrong with the pattern. Not so much anything wrong in particular just that it didn't look as gorgeous as I know it could. So my question as usual is do you have any suggestions for a lacy shawl with this yarn? I'm open to anything at all including pattern mods. I suppose it doesn't even have to be lacy or a shawl. Just looking for options.

This is a really simple lace shawl (from a spin-off mag) that I think shows off handspun well! Just a thought. (I made one in a solid color)

What about something like Spinner's Lace Shawl? There are some great examples of both fingering and not quite solid yarns on Ravelry.

Lovely lovely yarn.
Your pic makes me think it is a heavier weight than you say - which made me (also) think of the shawl leah mentioned. (But I'm not a strong triangle fan, so I'd modify to a rectangle.)
However, you say it is thinner, in which case I'm in love with Evelyn Clark.
There's another - http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/gaia-shoulder-hug but it is very similar to the first.
I am liking this one with my handspun.
Although, I do admit, its not lacy.

Lovely spun yarn! Sorry it didn't work out with the pattern you wanted to make.
