Remember the swallowtail shawl and the nupping? It’s been finished for about 2 weeks and I still haven’t showed it to you. I finally gave up trying to arrange a photo shoot with my number one photographer and decided to be photographer myself with Hannah as the model. I’m going to let the pictures speak for themselves on this one. You can make them bigger by clicking.
We had so much fun doing this. The pictures all come out really great – I had a hard time selecting these to show you. And, are you ready for the real shocker? Hannah actually told me that she likes the shawl. Not that I’m giving it to her. This one is mine, all mine.

It’s so pretty! And the model too.
Just one word – stunning. You must be so proud, OK that was more than one word.
Carole, that’s a GREAT presentation! Beautiful shawl, and Hannah looks very pretty and natural modeling it.
She’s so beautiful! And the shawl is lovely.
It’s gorgeous! I love the color, and the pattern! The model isn’t too shabby either… 🙂
gorgeous all around! shawl, model, photographer, background!
now you have to make her one…
She’s a doll! You do good work;-)
It’s gorgeous! And so is she! GREAT pictures too.
It shows when you’re having fun-what beautiful pictures!
It is gorgeous, Carole! Hannah makes a great model too 🙂
Its stunning Carole! And so is Hannah! I think you may have a hard time retrieving it from her. I love the photo of her laughing!
gorgeous! and i love your halloween quilt 🙂
It’s absolutely gorgeous! Good luck getting it back from her! 😉
Oh, and I’ll be stalking you at Rhinebeck…you’re on my Blogger Bingo card.
Cute! You should send these photos to IK. I think Hannah has a future as a knitwear model.
So beautiful … the shawl AND the model. I like the picture where’s she’s cracking up laughing the best.
Alert Interweave – a new model for them! Shawl is lovely, as is your “little” girl.
Love the shawl, love the pics!!
Really gorgeous shawl not to mention the model. My favorites- the laughing one and the over-the-shoulder look. Nice job Mme photographer.
Absolutely beautiful – both shawl and model :o)
WOW! to Hannah and the Swallowtail!
Um. Carole? You know I love you and all. But that shawl looks like it’s MADE for that girl. She needs that! Fabulous photo shoot!
The shawl is so lovely, as is Hannah! Beautiful pictures, they look like they belong in IK.
Oh, how beautiful! Gorgeous girl and fabulous knit! I agree with Norma — she sure looks “one with the shawl” and all. ; )
That is GORGEOUS! And a perfect size too.
Beautiful! And it looks like you both really did have a good time, too.
Just beautiful! Did you use the Misti Alpaca? I get about two rows done on mine and can’t stand working with it any more. You are inspiring me to persevere though! 🙂
she’s so pretty. i especially love the picture of her cracking up. my guess is that’s the one that’s most like her.
oh and the shawl is nice to 😉
What a great series of pictures. The shawl is beautiful but the model is more so!
Gorgeous shawl and girl. I love it.
She looks ready to spread her wings and soar. And just try getting her back down.
Both shawl and model are beautiful!
Great job!
The shawl is beautiful and Hannah makes a great model!
The best fun it looks like… wonderful joyous photo shoot!
What a beauty! Either, or and both!
Beautiful! Beautiful! The shawl and the model!
Maybe you’ll have to be making another one, Mama. 🙂
What wonderful fun! You can tell she had a lot of fun modeling the shawl and I can only imagine you were egging her on from behind the camera. Beautiful daughter! Beautiful shawl!
Maybe you should knit another one for Hannah because it really flatters her. The shawl is amazing, I’m so impressed.
