Ta da!

Its finished







Swallowtail Shawl from IK Fall 2006




Handmaiden Seasilk in Berry




I love it and this is how I will wear it.

This is only my second lace project and the first time working from a chart, I did love knitting it, even the nupps, when I got used to knitting them a bit loose, thanks for the tip Mary.


No, this is not how I usually look to walk the dog!

My usual choice of photographer was a asleep as its tradition to spend the last day of the holidays in bed, so I had to make do with Jim, so apologies, this is the best!


I love the Jumper on the cover of the Fall Interweave knits but am having trouble finding wool that I get gauge in, any suggestions?

Oh, Yvette, it's gorgeous! Congratulations -- a very fine job.

And I don't care... I'm always going to think of you walking your dog that way -- it's a great picture!

What a gorgeous job you did on your swallowtail! I am looking forward to giving seasilk yarn a try now after seeing your shawl!
