Thread: Swallowtail Lace Shawl

Nathalie, it's gorgeous!! I am so impressed Thanks for the tips on blocking. They'll definitely come in handy if I ever get the courage to try something as lovely as this shawl.

Wow, what a beautiful shawl! I'm green with envy, the color is just lucious and looks great with your color hair. Thanks for all the information on blocking, especially that the mats can be found at Toys 'r' Us.

Wowwwwwwwww's that's os outstanding n wel done ...u shud be proud ...thnks for sharing it into details

Wow! You should be proud!! It's AWESOME!!! Congrats on on a beautiful job!

very pretty! I got the mats that KP has that looks just like what you found...but I got to order another set they are not big enough to block a shawl on. I never thought to use the kids playmats

Nathalie, your shawl is totally awesome! This has already been ripped out three times and I'm rapidly becoming a knotted nitwit.

It's jaw-dropping gorgeous...beautifully done! When you're on that cruise (or anywhere in public) make sure you have a hand on, or are aware of, your shawl at all times. It's definitely a "stealer". The first Irish knit scarf I made for my sister was stolen right off her back as she was walking through Heathrow Airport in London. The second scarf is now inconspicuously pinned to her coat! JudyD

Very well done and the color goes really well with your hair color.... WAY TOGO!!
