voila, clapotis
Monday, 6 March 2006
It’s all finished up! With suggestions from folks up at the Fiber Gallery, I snipped the stitch I’d forgotten to drop; dropped it; and needle felted the snipped ends together.
Woah, was that a scary moment before cutting! But later when I was showing Jeff, it took me a couple minutes to figure out which one was needle felted. Pretty awesome to have learned this new “magic.”

Here are the photos (I’ll get Jeff to take one of me wearing it soon):

The arena prepped for surgery.

Close-up of the newly dropped area. See if you can see the stitch I cut! I can’t anymore! 
Details:
- Clapotis Pattern available on Knitty.com, by Kate Gilbert.
- Knitted in Debbie Bliss Soho (100% wool), color 37508. Seven skeins I think…
- On size 8 US (5mm) straight needles.
That random number 4 above was typed by Ms. Jasmine Catminski. I had to shift in my chair and she dashed off, typing that mysterious code as she fled. I guess Jasmine gets her photo here too. If she looks a little sad, I think she’s actually grumpy with me for moving when she was all comfy on a warm lap.

Good job! Your Clapotis looks great, I bet you will just love it. Mine lives in my office at Sand Point and gets used all the time – good thing too, 11 balls of Noro should never be ignored.
