Here is the Swallowtail Shawl from the Fall '06 (I think) Interweave Knits. Made with Morehouse Merino laceweight wool in Mermaid and trimmed with blue glass beads.



Actually, I finished it last November, but just got around to blocking it yesterday

So pretty!

Honestly, I am such a sad, sorry excuse for a knitter with my two hat patterns and a single stupid rectangle baby blanket that is just knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting.

that's all this is, just knitting and knitting and knitting and knitting!

and some purling, too :)

This purling you speak of...is that like in oysters?

(ba dum bum)

Seriously, this summer I WILL take some knitting classes. I can purl if I try really hard, but dropping stitches, increasing and decreasing, and pattern reading are all higher mysteries of the knitting cult to which I have not yet been initiated.
