Swallowtail

Did I blog about my swallowtail yet? Don't think so!

Begin this year I bought some yarn to make this. But I did not order the needed silke alpaca but alpace (so without the silk). I don't like the idea of cableling with the alpaca yarn, so I looked for another pattern.

I wanted to try some lace and choose the swallowtail.

I made it 5 repeats bigger and that was needed, it could even have been bigger.



Here it is on my lovely harmony needles, of which I broke one in the process. Not during the knitting, but when leaning on it while getting of the sofa. It was kindly replaced by Yvon of Storm op Zolder.
It only took 1.5 skein, so it is so light.



Now to think about something to knit with the other 11 skeins of alpaca.
