Swallowtail Shawl



Finally finished it: it took me a while since it is my very first lace shawl. I really love the process, and especially the part when a shawl "opens up" and becomes a shawl - after washing and blocking. Pure magic!

I used silk/cashmere blend from http://www.yubina.com
a very fine and delicate yarn. Pictures can't really convey the beauty of the color.
I guess, I will be knitting another shawl soon...

I love all of your pieces, especially the red Habu. And congrats on the shawl--it's a stunner.
