The Swallow Tail shawl from the fall 2006 number of Interweave Knits is a wonderful pattern, very easy and quick to knit and very beautiful. Even though I added five repeats of the Budding Lace pattern, I was able to finish in less than a week. The yarn I chose for this project was a 2 ply wool/silk blend from BÄnsull, a yarn that fits the pattern perfectly. Unfortuanately photographing a white shawl is a bit difficult, but I hope you can get a general idea of what my Swallow Tail shawl looks like.
