On a brighter note April 2, 2005
I decided to knit the Clapotis pattern from knitty.com as my sister’s 50th birthday present.
Her birthday is in late May and the party’s not until some time in June, but I decided to start it early because (a) I wanted to make sure I had enough yarn and (b) I couldn’t wait to see how it knitted up.
I’ve spent today knitting away to keep my mind off things and have found the answer to (a). I don’t have enough yarn. It also seems to be knitting up quite nicely - I’m considering making another for myself.
It’s very, very close to being finished (I’m probably one ball short), so I’ve ordered some more of the Katia Twist online and crossed my fingers that I’ll get it in time. If not, I’ll give it to her for Christmas.
looks great! I’m keen to try this again - the variagated yarn didn’t quite work for it, i think because of the way it increases and decreases.
