Christina: Cast on swallowtail......
.... which is harder than it sounded when we agreed to do it.
I focussed heavily on this (while watching news from the Chelsea Flower Show) but the stitches kept slipping off the needles and generally misbehaving - so the first 6 rows took hours, and then the next 6 in chart 2 were a bit quicker. Each repeat will get slower as the stitch count increases.
Note: have downloaded a stitch counting app for my phone - it seems designed for lace repeats, and now says "row 6 of repeat 1".

Alison: Cast on and set up
I have cast on!
I knitted the setup pattern about 5 times. Now I'm going to bed before I make any more mistakes.
