My very first lace project.
Before blocking.
Soaking. Looks like vermicelli!
Blocking. Sasha brought her blocking rods over and helped me with the blocking process! Thank God she came over because I was not stretching the shawl enough while blocking it.
Nupps up close and personal. I wonder why they call them nupps. They look more like bunions to me. Hehehe.
Me modeling it. *Blush blush*.
Hope my mummy likes it. 
Name of project: Swallowtail Shawl for My Mummy
Yarn: JaggerSpun Zephyr in Vanilla. 50% Chinese Tussah silk, 50% fine grade Merino wool

Salihan: Hehe, thank you! You should cast on one too!
LL: Nahhh… I’m not better than anyone in knitting. It was not so difficult – the Frost Flower and Leaves was more hair-tearing. Remember our pact! This weekend!!!
Pam: Thank you for your wishes!
Am going to steam ahead with my sister’s almost completed eyelet skirt so I can send them both at the same time to them. Hehe.
