Odds and Ends Swallowtail Shawl
Just because I need some color:
Odds and ends of Blue Sky Alpaca sport-weight, on a size 8 circular needle. My kind of shawl: almost a sweater, yet still a shawl, and lacey and pretty and practical.
The colors? A green not so limey in person for the Budding Lace sections, a hot pink for the Lily charts and nupps, and a scarlet red for the edging. I rarely wear green, and this seems a bit ChicKnits and a bit spring to me.
And thank you to Bradyphenia, recipient of the Helen's Lace from Lorna's Laces that I offered up a few posts ago. I'm looking forward to seeing what it turns into. Over at her blog, lots more color and dyeing of yarn, one of my favorite I-have-untold-amount-of-time activities that hasn't happened around here since summer.
