This is an interesting knit. I was so worried that it was not big enough initially. It nearly headed to the frog pond. I did some alteration too. This is knitted with Zephyr in Sage colour shade on 4mm needles. I omit knitting the nupps. That was really miserable. K5 together is really hard. I try to knit it loosely but I still feel it is difficult. So now, you can see from the close-up it is without the nupps.
Zephyr is easy to knit too. While knitting, you can easily spot the mistake and the lace reveals itself beautifully even before blocking. I personally loves the Budding Lace and the Peaked Edging.
After blocking the shawl measure 24" from bottom centre point to top edge and 50" wide across top edge.

Very very nice knitting.
You said you made some alteration. Did you make changes other than the nupps? I'm considering adding some repeats but not sure yet.
