Evelyn Clark's Swallowtail Lace Shawl

[feywood]

Last week, I was trying to sort through my stash and found some nice white fingering yarn. I browsed Ravelry for a while and so, a shawl was born. I've never finished a lace pattern like this before, so I'm quite pleased with myself. It's available here on Ravelry.



Pinned and drying.

That looks so beautiful! And you did all that in a week? I am very impressed.

[feywood]

Yeah, unemployment's at least made me productive in one field.

That is absolutely gorgeous! I'm gonna have to hunt that one up on Ravelry. You did a fantastic job for your first lace shawl, too. My first lace shawl is still languishing on the needles, about 3/4s done.

[feywood]

Thank you. :D
I have more of this yarn left so I'm thinking of doing another one.

Lovely!

[feywood]

Thank you!

This is gorgeous! I'm still trying to figure out the basics since so far I don't think I'm getting the result that I'm supposed to.

[feywood]

Thank you.

Oh that's too bad. Maybe a post with pictures of your results might get you some feedback?

[indywind]

How lovely! Thank you for sharing the inspiration.

[shadowwolf13]

Now that's an idea. I'll have to do that. :) Thank you for the suggestion.

[feywood]

Thank you!

That is utterly lovely. Could you add the link to the pattern to your post?

[feywood]

Thank you!

And done.

[jumpuphigh]

Thanks!

[aquaeri]

That is just awesome! Well done.

[feywood]

Thank you. :D

That is really beautiful.

[feywood]

Thank you. :)

Jealous, I am jealous

I can't do lace at all. I have the yarn and chart put down for that shawl, I do. One day, I shall, one day!

That looks gawjus. I am jealous.

[feywood]

Thank you :D

I don't deal well with charts. I can read them, but I can't really grasp the repeats. I work much better with written out instructions. I'm doing the sagittaria shawl now and I had to write it all out.

And I have to say, I love your icon.

Looks superb! I'm never likely to reach that level of competence myself, so I stand in awe of your prowess.

[feywood]

Aw no, don't underestimate yourself!

Thank you, though.

Beautiful!!

[feywood]

Thank you. :)

Beautiful! I did not remember that there were nupps in that. I recently got the Estonian knitting book (the English one, not Haapsalu Sall (sp?), although I want that one badly) and the projects are really inspiring.

[feywood]

I was a little worried since I'd never even heard the word before, but it turned out to be easy enough.

I should really get myself one of those too.
