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.
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!!

Love your shawl - it's beautiful! I spent my weekend at a fiber festival too. Such fun!
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.
It's beautiful!!!
GORGEOUS! I really should get back to knitting lace.
Wow! That's gorgeous! You should be very proud of that.
