Clapotis !!

I am working on Clapotis by Kate Gilbert. This is an enjoyable project, yet long. I am hoping that I don't run out of yarn before I finish. There are some mistakes in this clapotis, but hopefully they won't show too much. Using Blue Heron beaded rayon. Soft yarn, easy to work with. Seems to like being made into Clapotis. The colors are very similar to the clapotis at the Knitty web site - this was not done intentionally.

clapotis - ran out of yarn Posted by Picasa

The latest picture. I DID run out of yarn during second repeat of section 4. A dear ebay seller that I've bought yarn from before has some spare that she is sending to me. Very nice. And I cannot wait to finish this fun project.

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 !

Fabulous Shrug

This is a really simple shrug that both Lani and I made out of Waikiki. Another project that I did while I was trying to figure out what to do next. I don't have any big projects planned right now, but I have some gorgeous yarn coming in the mail - {must get to mailbox before husband}. This shrug feels so light and airy. The pics do not do it justice. It is hella cute. Fabulous Shrug 2  Here is a close up of the waikiki knitted in garter stitch on 10.5's. It's hard to see here, but I love the little nubbies in it and the colors are all the rage, don't ya know. waikiki up close  Fabulous Shrug

Another FO. This is Cleo from Knitty. I used Schaefer Laurel (I think this is my fav yarn right now). The color is great. Too bad the model is not. 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
