Swallowtail 2

A couple of close up of the detail

The yarn is from Yarn Treehouse and is the Lace Merino Print, colour C03. To give the correct guage for the pattern I used two strands held together on 3.5mm Addi Lace circular. If I had just knit this on it's own I think I would have had it done in a week so I find it a quick knit. I did however this time make silly mistakes on the body of the shawl, but found the two Lily of the Valley borders easier and the Nupps didn't seem a problem. The only thing I can put the Nupps being easier down to is that this time I had my Lace Addi's.....

On the non-lace knitting front, namely socks.... I have completed my Uncle Harry's christmas present - Opal Elemente , colour 1077 (now no longer available)
