This is the beginnings of the Swallowtail Shawl from Interweave Knits, Fall 2006. I'm doing it in the 2 ply laceweight that I spun up from the lovely Bluefaced Leiscester included with the Spindlewood Co. spindle that I won from Spindlicity.
IF I'm able to finish the shawl (I'm concerned I may run short) I'll likely dye the finished piece.
The shawl is going to be lovely, Marlene. I remember this yarn you spun, very well. It's gorgeous! I have this project set aside for my handspun, also. I'll be using the light blue superwash merino from Black Lamb.
ReplyDeleteCool!
ReplyDeleteYou must be a very fast knitter! WOW...beautiful...that pattern is still on a list to make..someday.
ReplyDeleteYou and I always seem to be on very similar pathways Michelle!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a super fast knitter PJ, this project seems to be going quicker than I would have thought. So far, while still on the first pattern, it has been very easy.
Very nice! That's a lovely shawl. It will be gorgeous in that yarn!
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely shawl! :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Looks good in this colour.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll leave it in its natural colour for now Nicole. This creamy, yellowish natural doesn't really excite me, but it does go with most everything that I would likely wear a small shawl with. Dyeing it any other colour would actually reduce the variety of things I could wear it with.
ReplyDeleteI can always dye it another colour later.
PJ, maybe you should put it a little higher on your list. It was surprisingly easy and quick to make. All the different patterns are very logical and quick to memorize.
