Your clapotis is looking great. Your boys are adorable. Why is it always their feet and not hands, elbows, etc?

I'm working on one of these too! I just couldn't resist starting one as I saw them all over blogland. Yours looks wonderful - I love the color. What fun it is to drop stitches and mean it!

It's a fun knit, no? Great colorway!

The drops are bringing out the color even more. Pretty! I just dropped my first stitch on mine, too.

Sometimes it's their hands, Sauniell. I think it was when I was taking pictures of my own feet (when I was working on my pom pom socks) that they started sticking their feet in. ;0)

How pretty! Yours is growing much faster than mine is. Love the moving picture :)

How fun! Those are great colors and love the little feet in the photos...they add just the right touch! Isn't dropping stitches so much fun? I just did that with a poncho I did and I had more fun dropping the stitches than making.

Nothing more tempting than soft knitting, lying flat on the floor, is there? Shame the boys still had socks on :-)

oh its beautiful. so cheery. what will you be wearing it with (its to go with a wedding outfit right?)?

Aren't the dropped stitches ridiculously fun? I love my clapotis and I couldn't even tell you why I love it so dearly. But even my Mom, who didn't get to drop the stitches, saw it and kept trying to steal it. When she left I had to double check and make sure she didn't take it with her.

Just printed off the Rosebud pattern from Knitty website. Would like to know how to adjust the pattern if I were to knit it as a maternity top...increase the length? The girth? Could you make suggestions please?

Oh my, now that's my kind of Clapotis. Malabrigo in orange. Does Claudia know you've become an orange girl?
