FO: Swallowtail Shawl (finally!)

I finally finished the Swallowtail Shawl!!! (I'm sure you are in total shock I finished anything!) It's a tad small, but I saw someone in Ravelry using it as sort of a scarf like thing, and it looked pretty good that way.

I love the pattern, and I may make another one but with bigger yarn and possibly adding a few repeats.

Swallowtail Shawl-1



Things I learned with this shawl: lifelines are good, never set your lace down for long periods of time or else you'll forget where you left off, and I need to buy some blocking wires.

I went to the Indiana Fiber Festival last weekend, and had a great time. Bought lots of goodies. Hopefully, I'll have some spinning to show you in the near future!!

    Yay Swallowtail. A really fun knit. Mine is small too, but I use it as a scarf. I'm not really a shawl person anyways. Well, at least until I knit a full sized one.

    It looks beautiful though. The solid color really shows off the details in the edging.

    The shawl looks nice. I hear that most people add several repeats or it's more of a short scarf.
