Swallowtail Take 2
This is just one of those lace patterns that I'll probably knit a dozen times. It goes quick; with the perfect amount of row repeats and changes in charts. Smooth lace needles and some lovely silk just make my day. I love the Swallowtail.

It really is a wonderful pattern, isn't it? Yours came out beautifully and I love the color!
Such a beautiful shawl...what a lovely gift! :)
It's beautiful but I think the nupps are enough to put me off from ever making another one!
Gorgeous!
The color is spectacular! Says a lot about your yarns (not to mention your knitting skills...)
Beautiful!
So pretty! Must...resist....urgeto...caston....
Gorgeous, perfect color too!
I haven't done this one yet - it's beautiful! I feel the same way about Charlotte's Web - I'm on my second one. Maybe I should branch out and try a Swallowtail, LOL!
i, too, love this pattern and am doing it in thicket sunsilk. i was inspired to try it when i saw another of your posts awhile back where you'd done it in what i recall was a tan type of color (mushroom or ???) and this color is also wonderful. when it came out in the Knitting Daily RCA top 5 i was ready and waiting!!
