Nine Rubies Knitting

Swallowtail Shawl - Your Beautful Lace Project

June 18th, 2008

Evelyn A. Clark is a lace genius, and one of her most popular projects is the Swallowtail Shawl. It was first published in Interweave Knits in the Fall of 2006, and it was recently voted one of the 5 most popular patterns that have ever been in the magazine.

Many lace projects are very complex, but Swallowtail is one of those wonderful projects that look much more difficult than it actually is. We’ll be teaching all the techniques you need to complete this spectacular shawl: learn how to read charts, use a provisional cast on, work increases and decreases, create the signature nupps (akin to a bobble but in a lightweight yarn), work with fine gauge yarns, block your project, and more.
