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.

Oh my goodness, that is GORGEOUS. I love everything about it, but most especially the colors.

Some day I have got to learn to do more than knit and purl. All I can make are scarves and blankets.

Wow, I'm impressed! You have such a great instinct with colors. When I (eventually) get married, I want to commission you to make a shawl for me, I love your lacework so much!

I love that pattern! It's so delicate and lacey.

[ineedcoffee.livejournal.com]

Beautiful! Just the kick in the ass I need to finish up some WsIP so I can get rollin' on this shawl!

So that's how those metal blocking thingers work! Nice job, it's so purty.
