Fini


I've completed the Clapotis. This one is done in Elspeth Lavold Silky Wool in three colors. Never is there a nicer yarn to work with -- honestly. I followed the pattern (now stop your chuckling!!) mostly as written except instead of a knit stitch between the two (k front and back loop) I purled the stitch to be dropped. This eliminated the need for markers. Also, this one is longer then 55 inches being closer to 62 inches (I was watching Die Another Day and got carried away).

I decided not to bead it. The idea was a good one just not right for this particular shawl. Could have been the yarn, color of the yarns, or even the beads I choose. But I do think it would be lovely beaded.

I did slip the colored rows. It's added a neat affect almost argyle look to the stripes. The photo really doesn't do it any justice, and no the slip stitching did not mar the drop stitches.



Thank you, Kate Gilbert for a fun pattern!
