After finishing the Ishbel shawl I still had a large ball of the lace weight alpaca left. I pulled out the Fall 2006 issue of Interweave Knits to knit the Swallowtail Shawl designed by Evelyn Clark.
The first part of the shawl knit up very quickly. Then, I got to those nupps in the edge lace pattern. They just about had me pulling my hair out.
Purl. Five. Together. What a crazy idea - especially since two of the five were yarn overs.
I think it was worth the effort once completed. Don't you think?
Shawl knitting is addictive.
