Ess Oh See Kay Ess

I *never* thought I would be interested in knitting socks! NEVER... but I went to K2 Knit Yarn Salon in Tracy, CA and visited with the LYSO Kathy Kindred and she was very excited about the fact that she found the way to knit socks on two circulars. She read the pattern in the book, A Good Yarn. I read the book, too but did not feel all of that. But, her enthusiasm was infectious and she was holding a "sock hop" at her store that Friday evening. I happened to be available and attended. I had a great time and started these socks.

But it shrunk a little and I actually like the fit better now. I love this pattern. It

I still need to put in the elastic so it will fit better at the high waist. I really like this pattern. I think I will defo make it again but with a little more coverage over my sagging you-know-whats :) This is Cleo

Clapotis Done !!

My Clapotis is finished! I love this pattern. I love this garment. It is so versatile. I made mine out of a beaded rayon which knit up just beautifully and drapes perfectly. I'd like to make another out of a wool, silk blend next for warmth. This particular clapotis will be perfect for spring and autumn. Clapotis makes me happy !
