Swallowtail Shawl

I finally finished it!! There were many problems because it's my first lace shawl. You had no idea what they were; just look at the photo below. They happened so many times in many rows. Sometimes I really want to shout out loud and blame myself. Why did I miss it again and again? But I realized something that I've got from this. I would not know about fixing these problems if they've never happened. Now I think I'm really good!!

My huge problems.

When I've first seen this pattern; it's scared me so much! Why's that? You have to see yourself. There are a lot of charts that I'm not good and also have many instructions. But I had no idea why this pattern is very popular, if it's really difficult. There are more than five thousand projects be knitted, that has shown something!
I tell myself I'll try some. I prefer instruction to chart so I've just followed this.
I've knitted for a few rows it still be easy. We'll see what's up next!

I first used big size circular needles (US.6); so it came out as the first photo. I didn't feel good with that. I've changed to smaller one (US.3) making my work neatly and color also beautiful.

This yarn is very,very soft!
