Swallowtail Shawl

The secret project is at a hiatus. I've finished the knitting and most of the finishing, but have decided it needs the addition of something else which I have yet to buy. This being the case I have started the Swallowtail Shawl from the fall issue of Interweave Knits.

This is the progress so far. Actually I've done more since I took the photo, I'm just about to start the seventh repeat of fourteen of the second chart. I'm not too sure what the yarn is that I'm using; it's something I got off ebay a while back and it's on a cone, so it's not a very portable project. Mainly I just wanted to try a proper lace project, something a bit more than just socks. (Suppose that the "I Do shrug" counts).

In the stash I have some laceweight merino and if this works out okay I may try the Icarus Shawl from the summer issue in that.

I've also been VERY BAD this week, more news on this to follow.
