i haven't done the borders (aka the hard part) but the main lace pattern for swallowtail is a breeze. just use lifelines abd you're golden!

Thanks for all the encouragement, but I'm still terrified. It sure will take a long time when I put a lifeline in every row.

Lace can actually be fun...although you shouldn't listen to me. I've never actually successfully finished anything lace before...

the yarn will at least be easy to frog!

True.
