Thanks to a Ravelry knitalong on the Posh Yarn knitters group, my poor Diamond Fantasy shawl has been languishing a bit these past two weeks. On the other hand, I have made a Swallowtail Shawl:

Needless to say, I’m really pleased with it I’m surprised how quickly this knitted up, too - it’s seemed to fly off the needles of everyone who was knitting it.

Pattern: Swallowtail Shawl, by Evelyn A. Clark, from Interweave Knits Fall 2006 .

Yarn: Eva 2ply in Serenade, from Posh Yarn. One small business that delivers such beautiful products and excellent customer service that I can’t recommend it enough.

This is the first pattern I’ve knitted that I can actually see me making again - it’s just a really satisfying knit. I added a few repeats of the budding lace chart to make for a slightly bigger shawl, so I used about 10g of my second skein of the Eva (I should have about enough of that left to make a lace scarf, I think) - it’s still a rather nice scarf size, though.
