Swallowtail Shawl!

I don't think I ever posted about my Swallowtail Shawl. This was my ravelympics project, which I finished before the closing ceromonies, thank you very much.

I knit mine with one ball of Classic Elite Silky Alpaca Lace on 4.5mm needles. This was a very fun knit.







I knit in beads using the crochet method instead of knitting the nupps. Looks better, I think.

Gorgeous. I like the beads too as I think nupps are difficult to knit.

Lovely! I need to move this pattern out of my queue and make one already!
