My First Shawl, the Naughty Nefertem...

I can't believe it has taken me so long to knit a shawl! I did cast on the Swallowtail months and months ago, but as usual, other projects took preference. Actually, I did a good job of getting distracted by spinning!

Before blocking, the shawl was looking quite wonky. I was worried while I was knitting it that it was coming out uneven on the sides. Ah knitting, how you trick!

Behold, after blocking the shawl hangs beautifully showing texture and lace definition!

Not bad for a first shawl, eh? It was a good knit! Now I brainstorm my next shawl...
