Returning to our regularly scheduled blogging, I actually found pretty 40% off baby alpaca yarn yesterday and I've decided to do Swallowtail in this. I also have gorgeous beads to replace the nupps. I don't like nupps in the way that I don't like bobbles.
I do love the bobbles on the Show-off skirt and may have to get over my bobble hate because the skirt is just adorable.
With the option to add beads instead of nupps, Swallowtail is even more attractive to me. The color is greenish yellow and it is heathered. It is so squishy soft as to make me *squeal* and since it is DK weight, it is kinda flying off the needles. The progress from last night until this morning has been amazing!
The color is more accurate in the first photo but this is just rocking along. I can't wait to get to the beading section. I also found a great hint on Ravelry re: enlarging this shawl dramatically without mucking up the stitch count. Yay!
thanks for your kind comments left on my blog :o)
