That is awesome(!), although definitely beyond my abilities.

Your shawl is really pretty! With your modifications, its size is perfect. Lovely!

June, it is a lovely shawl and I adore the colour. You’ve convinced me to make it someday.

It is lovely! And boyohboy! am I glad I use Google Reader instead of Bloglines…

Ah, denied by Bloglines, but I still stop by.

Your shawl is truly lovely – I love that pattern.

And you was robbed at the State Fair.

Bloglines still sees the feed at http://www.twosheep.com/blog/wp-atom.php

I know, because that’s how I see your posts.

Bloglines started ignoring me right after Christmas. I haven’t looked recently to see if it caught up at all. There was nothing I could do about it so I tried my best to forget all about it.

Google Reader still loves you though.

lovely shawl, lovely color!

The Swallowtail Shawl has been on my list for ages–yours is great inspiration to get going on one. Thanks!

I love the color of the yarn! Very beautiful and delicate!

I love the model shots. You and the shawl look beautiful. It’s a gorgeous color I’d be thrilled to use it. Thanks for the nupps tip, it make so much sense, but I’d never heard it before.

That is sooo beautiful, I wish I could kniw. But since I do crochet, I’m still coveting the yarn!

What a lovely shawl! Congratulations!

Gorgeous, as usual! And I love the orangeyness to it. Thanks for a blog update!

I love how the swallowtail looks with the added repeats. It’s gorgeous! I would love to make one of my own!

Beautiful! Thanks for the tips on how to make the nupps; I’ll save that.

Your Swallowtail is just gorgeous! You did an excellent job with that color, I love it!

Great shawl and a great giveaway!! It is a pretty colour too and I am sure you will enjoy wearing it.

Hey, great giveaway! Please accept my entry, thanks!

Beautiful! Stunning! I want to knit lace NOW!

Really beautiful, June. I have admired the Swallowtail many times but the nupps have always scared me off. Your hint there makes them sound a loy easier – maybe it’s time to give this a try?

What a lovely shawl, and a gorgeous color! I love how cats love to “help” with things! We have three, and they all have such different personalities.

Soon your child will fly away (mine is 35 today so it actually happens) and this shawl will remind you.

Love the colors.

And some stiff competition at the State Fair – how nice you made it to the top 3 – you are pretty stiff competition yourself.

The shawl is beautiful! Thank you for the tips on the nupps and indicating how you modified it… I will put those notes with the pattern for later. Thanks!

What a gorgeous shawl!

The shawl is lovely. kudos for finding time to knit this while keeping up with the little one.

and ‘myyahoo’ feeds still sees you.

I would love to make a swallowtail as beautiful as yours!

Your shawl is gorgeous! I just might have to bump that one up in my queue a bit.

what a gorgeous shawl! what i really want to know, though, is how you managed to train charlie to be so helpful. all of my knitting friends who have cats have to lock the cat out of the room when blocking an item…

Great colour, fabulous knitting, and lovely nupps.

Glad you found my approach useful.

What a gorgeous shawl!

And what a nice contest.. I’d love to be entered.

it looks lovely! (and charlie seems to agree, smile!) this has been on my to be knit list…hmmm, maybe with it fall now!

Lovely shawl, lovely model.

Gorgeous! I love the motion shot

I’d really love to try a lace project! Maybe now’s the time!

I love the color and thankyou for this giveaway and the tips on making the nups:)Hugs Darcy

That yarn looks so yummy! I’d love to try lace soon. My one attempt was a dismal failure.

love the shawl I did ages ago for my aunty in very fine italian yarn she loved it but havent redone it although I still keep looking at it i think I would be adding more repaeats as you said I like alonger shawl. I ike your/teds way of doing nupps must remeber it love your blog

Lovely shawl with lovely color
I hope you readers will find they way back here

The fabric looks so floaty and light! Great color, too.

What a lovely dye-work. The swallowtail has been in my queue for a while.

Beautiful shawl and I love the color. I might be ready for a Swallowtail- I’m Formerly Lace Challenged. If not- then a nice lacey stole.

Your swallowtail looks so graceful and drapey! Very inspirational.

What a beautiful shawl! I haven’t knit anything with laceweight yarn yet, but I’m looking forward to giving it a try!

I love those modelled shots!

P.S. No yarn please! Got too much….

The shawl turned out gorgeous. The cat is adorable too

The Swallowtail is absolutely beautiful!

gorgeous~i can’t wait to try the nupps your way…

I love the color and the shawl. I keep looking at the Swallowtail pattern. Hope I win so I can try my luck with this pattern.

very pretty.

Lovely shawl abd a lovely colour.
And my curiousity is piqued by these nupps I keep hearing about!

So beautiful! Your work inspires me!

I DREAM of knitting that shawl (I’ve never knit one before, but that was the first one I longed to knit!)
I’d love to have your yarn…it’s been over year since I ordered any! Serious yard budgeting here in VA!

Thank you so much for pointing me toward Ted’s nupp tip. I’m working on a shawl from the Estonian Lace book and have been struggling a little, this should help!

That is just beautiful!!!! And I actually like the color too Awesome work!!!

Very, very lovely and the colour is nice and warm. I wish my kitty was more helpful and less destructive when I block lace.

Your Swallowtail is gorgeous! Lovely photos too.
What a nice giveaway, but I’ll pass ~ I’m one of those terribly allergic to cats people.
Happy Knitting!

That’s beautiful yarn! And a beautiful scarf! I hope that whoever wins makes something beautiful with it!

You shawl is beautiful. I would love to try my hand at it. I love the color. Thanks for the contest. Debbie

You did a lovely lovely job! I want to knit a shawl and just haven’t a.) gotten my courage up and b.) found a pattern and yarn that I can decide on. I’ve que’d so many… *sigh* I just need to pick up the needles and go eh? Thanks for the inspiration!! It’s just beautiful!!!

Beautiful Shawl – Great job!

I haven’t visited your blog in a while but have always enjoyed seeing your beautiful handiwork. Lucky me – today I find you again and you have a contest! That is a beautiful shawl – I’d love to knit it – the next time I do a nupp I will be trying Ted’s nupp suggestion. Thank You!

I love the shawl and the color you used. Swallowtail is on my list of to do’s. I love it every time I see it.

I’ve made Swallowtail once and found the nupps terrible to execute. Thanks for the tip on making them easier. Now I’m ready to try again!

Please *don’t* enter me in the drawing – I just wanted to say I’m happily still reading.

Stumbled on your blog today (how had I not seen it before?!) and what a gorgeous knit to introduce me to your site! The swallowtail has been on my ‘to knit’ for ages but I haven’t gotten around to doing it yet. When I do, I’m sure I’ll appreciate your nupp tip!

Subscribing via Google Reader thank you very much Bloglines!

Lovely shawl! Looks so light you can wear it anytime.

Your Swallowtail is beautiful and one that I have on my list to knit. If I win the yarn it will be bumped up to the next project to do.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Love your blog,
Janice

Don’t know why I never thought of a double YO for the nupps. You explained it and it made perfect sense. Can’t wait to get home to try it!

Congratulations on finishing your beautiful handmade lace shawl. I hope it brings you enjoyment for years to come! BTW, orange is my favorite color and I don’t have near enough of it in my stash, so I hope I win.

Your Swallowtail is simply gorgeous! I want one too!

I recently finished an Ishbel and I think I’ve been bitten by the lace shawl bug. Ishbel is the first shawl I have ever made for myself.

Thanks for the contest!

Lovely shawl. I think the size is great. When I made my Swallowtail earlier this year, I did the same thing. I wanted a shawl that was big enough to actually bring some warmth, since I wore it to my sister’s wedding in early May (which can be positively chilly here in Sweden).

Love the color too! I’ve been thinking of knitting a red shawl for myself. I need something bright.

It came out great! I’m planning on making one too and I’ll have to remember your advice on the nupps.

Beautiful shawl. Beautiful color! I have this pattern but have been delaying starting it…

Beautiful! I love the color & would love a chance to make this!

That is a fantastic color for a Swallowtail. It evokes thoughts of fall for me.

Beautiful shawl, but Meredith is even more so.

what a gorgeous yarn…….I’m just knitting my first lace project……a shawl (I’m a new knitter) so would love to try the fine lace yarn.
