Swallowtail Shawl in Oxford Kitchen Yarns naturally dyed sock yarn.
The perfect size for a scarf or shoulder warmer.
Took one skein but I omitted the last couple of peaked edge rows and was left with a metre of yarn. It was a scary cast off!
Knitted on size 5 mm circulars.
It reminds me off the yellow and black Swallowtails we saw as children camping in France.
And it is the first time that I have finished a knit for project spectrum!

Really beautiful work and quick to boot! Love the little broach as well - very apt for the shawl!
It's gorgeous. I would never have picked a yellow for it, but you know, it makes perfect sense! :)
Queen- I adore the Swallowtail shawl- the pattern really underestimated the amount of yarn.
Love the colour.
Beautiful! Just beautiful. I love the colour - the brooch is gorgeous too.
What a fantastic colour! Your shawl is so beautiful, Lin. Congrats on another great project. :D
Beautiful work! The color is so warm and happy. I can't imagine being glum while wearing it.
I can't believe you finished this already! You are like the super-knitter. It is beautiful - gorgeous cheery color and I LOVE the little bird pin.
Beautiful! A lovely colour too, and thanks for the link (btw: I had a similarly scary cast-off for mine!). The swallow brooch is perfect!
gorgeous
IT LOOKS FABULOUS.
oh that is lovely! Makes me want to knit a smaller one now. Lovely photos too!
What a gorgeous shawl. You should be thrilled. The colour is exquisite too.
Beautiful! I'm never attracted to yellow or gold skeins, but I often find myself loving others' yellowy FOs.
That really is lovely! What a beautiful work of art. Did you really knit that to go with the pin? That's too funny!
The shawl is just beautiful! I love those pins; I can fully understand your wanting to make something pretty to go with it.
That brooch is so pretty. The swallowtail was the perfect knit for it!
It is very beautiful!!! And looks very classy on you. The pin is perfect for it :)
Such a happy shawl for so many reasons; looks beautiful on you
How absolutely lovely!
So lovely! The pin is beautiful as well : )
SO fabulous!! Love the matching pin and phew on the cast-off - did you do it really really slow, or really really fast?? (I think I'd do it faster, because that makes the yarn longer!!! At least with my warped logic it does!)
Wow... that is absolutely beautiful! Makes me want to pull my out of the UFO pile and work on it. That yellow is really tremendous!
That is simply gorgeous!
Beautiful! I'm knitting a pair of socks that the moment with that exact same colourway. It is perfect for Swallowtail!
I think its gorgeous!!!!!! I would never have picked yellow either but it looks fantastic!

I think it's stunning. The solid yarn colour really enhances the pattern doesn't it.
Stunning work. Ooh, thinking of asking for a commission now - do you ever do commission work?
The shawl is so sunny and airy! Hope you will enjoy wearing it.
Swallowtails and hummingbirds - oh-so-lovely!
WOW! I love it. I absolutely love it. I started this once and got sidetracked before more than a few rows. I must try again because yours is so elegant that I want one too! And yay for solids. Works a treat!
oh, that's really gorgeous. and I love the brooch too.
Wonderful - the colour sets the pattern off to perfection.
Wow, that's a beautiful shawl! Love that yellow colour, it's worked so well. The photo at the end of it in the sunlight just glows!
It's beautiful. What a fabulous colour!
You are soooooo clever. It's just lovely. x
Wow!! What a stunning colour!!
That really is a beautiful shawl and goes so well with the brooch. Very clever indeed - I would never have the patience!

It's beautiful! The color is so pretty and the little brooch is perfect.
That is a beautiful shawl. It looks like the swallowtail butterflies I am writing about. Thanks for posting your comment on my blog!

Beautiful. Love the brooch, love the colour. Perfect, well done xx
That's so beautiful, and so funny about the brooch! I've bought clothes to go with my handknits, but that's about as far as it's gone so far!
This is lovely ! This shawl is gorgeous !
OK...Sit down for this...I think you are the BEST knitter...amazing and the colour is divine.
SO completely fabulous, Lin! I love the yellow. The lace definitely has an airy quality to it. And the broach is perfection :)
Just beautiful! I must be one of the few knitters left not to have knitted this pattern (it is moving up the queue though!)
That is the most perfect shade of yellow. Oh, it is beautiful!!!
Lovely! The colour shows off the pattern really well. And I love the brooch co-ordinating!
The shawl is so gorgeous, and your blog is like a breath of fresh air:)
