I'm finished, and leaving the lights on!
I can't believe I picked this up less than a week ago and I'm already finished. That means I let it sit in my UFO basket for a year, and all it needed was a week of love.
Well, y'all, I'm going to be feeling the love, because luckily it's only 46 degrees today and the low is 19 tonight. That means I will be able to wrap myself in fabulousness for about five more days, then I'll have to wait till fall. Behold, knit side and purl side:
Pattern: Clapotis, by Kate Gilbert
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport in Gold Hill, 2 full skeins and about 1/2 of a third
Needle: #6 INOX Express
Started: November 5 2005
Completed: April 6 2007
Modifications: None, but I did accidentally put 7 stitches in one section. I think I forgot a final decrease, and I had some wonkiness at the bottom of one dropped stitch to fix. But otherwise, all I changed was the yarn.
Would I knit it again? You bet! And I wouldn't quit!
I am not blocking it.

Lovely!!! Makes me want to make another one!
It's lovely!!!
Oh, I love Gold Hill. It looks FABULOUS as a Clapotis!!
That yarn is gorgeous! Glad you finished it!
Its GORGEOUS!! Oh and you're not the last one. I've had mine sitting on the needles untouched for at least a couple of months now.
I'm almost done with my third Clapotis (LL Worsted in Bittersweet). I just ran out of yarn so have to order some more and wait to finish it up. Your's is GORGEOUS! It makes me want to start on #4. How many skeins of the sport weight did you use??
It's 90 degrees here today - I'm jealous of your weather!!! The clap looks great.
How many skeins did this take? I really want to make one and I was really thinking Shepherd Sport would rock it!
Gorgeous!!! Yay! Sadly, mine has been a UFO almost as long, and it's a mini one..wonder if I give it a 1/2 week of love ;)
Enjoy it!! It'll go with a lot of outfits!!
I know, I was excited about the cold snap so I could wear my clapotis for a little while again!
It looks great!
love it - just gorgeous!
It turned out beautiful! I owuld say well worth the week of love.
I love that colorway! Beautiful Clap!
Soooo pretty. When you do another one, might I suggest the SWTC Bamboo? It's delicious!!
Beautiful! I'm getting that Clapotis lust again too. I wouldn't block it either, and didn't block my first one. I think that bumpiness is part of the allure.
so pretty!
Congrats! Kate always tells me people shouldn't block it anyway!
I want to see it on!
That's beautiful, Jen. I should make one - one of these days.
That is beautiful, I am so pleased the weather is in your favour so you can wear it. It is lovely.
