Pictures
They say that a picture's worth a thousand words.... well, how's about 8 pictures?
Although the nupps aren't quite perfect; I could have used a blocking wire but none was handy; the light outside was poor, and it was raining a bit as the goats looked on; it is my first ever completed lace shawl...... and I love it.
Swallowtail - pattern by Evelyn Clark - as seen in Interweave Knits.
Paprika Lace Weight Alpaca - by Dicentra Designs
And to think it all began here.... with this lovely gift from Lisa (the hand dyeing artist).
You can get your own Paprika Lace Weight Alpaca. Colors will vary slightly in each batch- from a light golden to a deep rust. thank you, Lisa, for the inspiration :-)

Oh, it's just a thing of beauty! Love it :)
It's lovely, just a thing of beauty, nupps and all!!
Stunning!
It's magnificent!
It is fabulous and the pictures show it off beautifully.
Looks great! If you don't have a blocking wire to hand, you can try unbending a wire coat hanger. Or, you can run a length of sock yarn through the shawl where you would normally run the blocking wire and wrap the ends of the sock yarn around very sturdy blocking pins ( I use T-pins from Staples) and pull the sock yarn taut.
PS - Got your CMF email about my package - I seriously just cannot wait.
Your shawl is gorgeous! You will have all of us working on our lace projects tonight!
Really beautiful shawl. The color looks great on you too. Good job!
Great job on the shawl. It's beautiful!
Wow, it's beautiful! Those nupps were definitely worth the work.
Absolutely beautiful!!
Congratulations! You did a wonderful job and the nupps look perfect to me. Now that you've done one lace shawl you'll be addicted. What's next?!?
Absolutely gorgeous -- very well done! I can't believe that's your first lace project.

They look lovely all finished up and in context (it was a wonderful person invented the color paprika).
Just beautiful, Teyani! I love that color.
Worth 8000 words for sure! It is just too beautiful for words! I am amazed at how quickly you knit that up! Are you able to finish socks in 90 minutes too?

That shawl is absolutely beautiful! It looks so lovely on you.
That turned out just lovely, Teyani. Really, I think it's the most beautiful one I have seen on the 'net. Much prettier than the one in IWK. Congrats!!! You will be the envy of Madrona Fiber Arts Fest.
See I told you that you'd be wonderful at lace! The shawl is fantastic!
I love your shawl! I also just completed Swallowtail, and it was also my first. Such a great project! I'm almost tempted to start another just so that I can experiment with other colors. The paprika is incredible. Great job.
Thank you for the time that you put into your blog. Your shawl is sooo gorgeous, a thing of beauty and a joy to look at.
