Swallowtail

Swallowtail Shawl by Evelyn Clark
Yarn: Knitpicks Shadow in Snorkel
The only change to the pattern was to use beads instead of making nupps.

Yay, it's done! It took me less than 1 month to finish it and I thought it would take me 2. I really enjoyed working on this, the patterns were simple and did not bore me! Unfortunately, I won't be sporting this, because it's for my mom! I hope that she will be surprised to get a shawl for Christmas for the 2nd year in a row!! I hope she likes it. I think if I make one for myself, I would do the modifier to make it larger by adding more repeats. I found a thread on the swallowtail kal ravelry group that explains how many more repeats to do, and I think it is 19 of the first pattern.  This shawl did not take a full skein of yarn, in fact I had a quarter of  it left over.  I have 2 more skeins of this yarn to make another shawl, maybe I'll do an Aeolian from knitty.
