WIP Post: Swallowtail 2.0, Finished but Unblocked

IMG_0369

I cast off Swallowtail this morning - another quick knit and a great palate cleanser.  This is the shawl pre-blocking.  The spine is just about 16 inches deep, which is way too small to wear as a proper shawl or scarf at this point.  My first Swallowtail grew quite a bit in size, though, and I expect the same with this one.  I also had plenty of yarn left over, so no nail-biting on finishing.

So pretty.

Now it's time to swatch for other projects!  Whee!  Maybe I'll even manage to block this guy within a month of finishing it.

You have infected me- I dug up some pearl-grey lace-weight Zephyr and am knitting a swallowtail shawl... all because of you!
