swallow at 8

We have progress on the swallowtail shawl. I am almost done with repeat 8 of chart 2. All that's left of this repeat is the purl back. I'm at 123 stitches. And rows are taking longer to knit. Still plenty of yarn left in ball 1.

I switched to some nylon circs about 10 rows back. The circs are antiques or nearly so. No join to give you trouble as there is no join. The cable and needles are molded as one. The shawl was still fitting on the little bamboo needles fine, but I couldn't spread the stitches out well to count them. And I couldn't spread the shawl out to have a look at it.

more later,
