look! down on the floor! it's Clapotis! Longer than a speeding Thomas train.
More powerful than a Lego firetruck.
Able to distract a single boy from the television.

It's a shawl! It's a scarf!

Clapotis - as popular as chocolate! I just finished my 2nd one last night. I may have to do a self photo pose like yours. Love the color of your Clapotis. Very butterscotch! Posted by: Susan at July 2, 2005 10:06 AMooh very pretty! It's going to be so nice to have this fall. Posted by: Katherine at July 2, 2005 10:20 AMOooo....so pretty! Posted by: Dani at July 2, 2005 10:27 AMVery beautiful! Congrats on finishing - it suits you to a T! (To a tee? To a tea?) Posted by: Lindsay at July 2, 2005 10:30 AMBeautiful colour! Posted by: Distant Knitter at July 2, 2005 12:12 PMYou could make a hat, a broach, a teridactyl... Lovely scarf! Posted by: Kathy at July 2, 2005 12:49 PMPretty! Posted by: Alexa at July 2, 2005 12:51 PMWow, it's gorgeous! Beautiful job. I may just have to hop on the Clapotis bandwagon one of these days... Posted by: Elizabeth at July 2, 2005 2:10 PMVery impressive presentation! HOORAY! Posted by: laurie at July 2, 2005 3:18 PM... and it's fabulous! Posted by: Liz at July 2, 2005 4:50 PMHey Alison, did you block it or not? I blocked my first one...moving onto my second, wondering what others are doing. Posted by: LeAnne at July 2, 2005 4:54 PMI am a big fan of your clapotis - the colour is just fabulous! Watch out for kryptonite! Posted by: Tiffany at July 2, 2005 5:01 PMYour Clapotis is BEAUTIFUL!! Posted by: Kim at July 2, 2005 6:05 PMBeautiful! I'm starting to weaken toward this pattern. . . I didn't PLAN on making it (ever), and yet, there are so many beautiful ones out there! I did, however, just finish the second sleeve of my NbaT . . . for some reason, I thought you'd be interested to hear that! Posted by: Deb at July 2, 2005 6:37 PMHa, Kathy, too funny! :D LeAnne, I haven't blocked mine. I think it could use it, but I don't really have a space large enough to do it. I may end up just blocking small sections of it - the corners for example - where it's curling the most. Posted by: alison at July 3, 2005 12:28 AM...It's wonderful! I love the marmalady color. Posted by: amysue at July 3, 2005 8:24 AMI am loving the colors, orange..... I have a question...and a problem.... I cannot seem to find a bind-off that is elastic enough for a toe up sock....I tryed the suspended bind-off, but no luck. Do you have any sugg.??? That's all I have left to finish my pals socks. Any help would be great. Posted by: Leslie at July 3, 2005 12:42 PMI love it and I love your post presenting it...very creative! Posted by: michele at July 3, 2005 2:01 PMI have been saying for almost a year I would not give in to Clapotis mania, but you really are tempting me! Sweet! Posted by: Rebecca at July 3, 2005 6:38 PMI gave in and started a Clapotis, too. However, I am loving the colorway you chose...I may have to do another! It's beautiful! Posted by: Roxie at July 3, 2005 9:25 PMBeautiful Clapotis! Love the pictoral! Posted by: Rachel at July 3, 2005 11:37 PMIt is beautiful! Congrats on finishing! Posted by: Dani at July 4, 2005 7:23 AMHAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! GO BUY YOURSELF SOME YUMMY YARN FROM NYC Posted by: lisa b at July 4, 2005 10:09 AMThat's lovely. That mustard-y color looks great on you. Posted by: Jenn at July 4, 2005 10:36 AMI love your Clapotis. I really must try one of my own. I just don't know what yarn I would like to try. What did you use? Posted by: Diane at July 4, 2005 11:44 PMStunning! That colorway is really remarkable done up clappy style. Posted by: Sarah at July 5, 2005 3:05 PMit's gorgeous!!! Posted by: rebecca at July 7, 2005 12:35 PMBeautiful - I especially love the action shot! How much yarn did you end up using, out of curiosity? Posted by: Tonia at July 8, 2005 2:26 PMTonia, I followed the pattern as originally written (not the shortened version that she added later in pink) and used about 3 3/4 hanks of Malabrigo. Malabrigo is an awesome buy at only $12 a hank, so it's a great price for such a large, lovely shawl. Heck, it's even a bargain for a super-long scarf! Posted by: alison at July 8, 2005 7:13 PM |
