The issue may still be available, but IK is starting to publish their patterns on-line as pdfs, so check their site to see if this is one of them! Good luck and have fun.Sophie_vfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02049108093977249683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111409.post-10401197324727461292008-01-12T20:21:00.000-07:002008-01-12T20:21:00.000-07:00Your work is wonderful.....this ismy first visit t...Your work is wonderful.....this ismy first visit to this site.

The advantage to the Swallowtail is that I already knew the pattern, so given the deadline I had, that's why I chose it :)Sophie_vfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02049108093977249683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111409.post-91052740944898734382007-05-08T07:36:00.000-06:002007-05-08T07:36:00.000-06:00WOW Sophie!

Also, that is an 8 year old modelling it, so it looks bigger anyway.<BR/>I have previously done a Swallowtail with more repeats for a bigger shawl, though...it's in the September 06 archive.Sophie_vfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02049108093977249683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111409.post-88162270086817864262007-05-07T20:16:00.000-06:002007-05-07T20:16:00.000-06:00That's gorgeous!
