Swallowtail & Shetland
I recently finished knitting the Swallowtail Shawl. I used 1.6 oz of silk of my handspun. I followed the pattern as written because I didn't think I would have enough yarn left, but thankfully, I did.
I have started on a new knitting project from some Superwash merino roving that I handpainted and spun into laceweight. It is a bit loftier than the silk and is at the lumpy, bumpy stage. Here is a picture of it smoothed and pinned out.

I am presently spinning some silk for the Heartland Lace Shawl, also by Evelyn Clark. I've completed 2 Clark patterns. And I have 2 more planned. I am so devoted to her amazing patterns. If you want to read more about my spinning and knitting process, please check out my blog.

Hi, Stephanie. Thank you so much. I am also a member of Spun Stitches. I posted there originally, but forgot to post here. I am lace obsessed and have a ton of forums that I belong to or read. I love getting inspiration and motivation to continue spinning to knit lace.
Look at that gorgeous yarn! Wow. How talented you are!
That's amazing. So variegated yarn can look awesome in lace--but maybe it takes skill like yours!
WOW! I am impressed! Want to try to knit lacepattern shawls, but I am too lazy...
Thanks for the inspiration - I really must try some time.
