Swallowtail #2 is finished!
This one took a lot less actual knitting time as I already understood the pattern and I don't think I ever had to tink back more than just a few stitches. I'm in lurve with this pattern and I wouldn't be surprised if I felt the need to knit more of these. This one is lighter and more delicate than the first. The fabric is more open because I used the same size needles for both projects but the Jaggerspun Zephyr (the yellow) is a finer yarn. They're both Merino/silk blends, but the Sireno has a smoother finish and doesn't have a tendency to snag on itself the way the Zephyr does. I'd use either of these yarns again in a heartbeat though - in fact, Great Adirondack will have a booth at Stitches West so I might pick up another skein of it this weekend.
I think I'm developing a lace obsession.

It's beautiful!
Mmm, lace. I think it's about time for another shawl....
That is beautiful! I want to knit this with beads instead of the nupps.
Wow, you did it that fast! It's gorgeous! Congratulations, and see you at Stitches!
Lovely :)
Very addicting pattern - have made 3 so far - 2 w/beads & 1 w/nupps - all lace weight. Going for the 4th w/fingering weight.
That is quite beautiful in the yellow.
I don't do much lace myself, so I am doubly astounded when someone finishes something like this and says it wasn't hard.
Wow.
