FO: Clapotis Scarf

Submitted by Lynn on Tue, 01/16/2007 - 9:06am.


Lynn in Clapotis with unbrushed hair

Started: 12/23/06
Finished: 1/03/07
Pattern: Clapotis, altered to be more of a scarf and less of a stole. I know, I'm 2 years late for the party but who cares.
Materials: Sandy Sitzman-dyed merino/silk, handspun and Navajo-plied into a worsted weight; the world's most beat-up #9 Inox straight needles, which I finally threw out after this was finished. Life's too short to use crappy needles.

The first FO of the New Year. It's been finished for a while, but I just now had the chance to take a picture. Ignore the hair. Oy. I'll try to get a shot soon of the whole thing spread out to show the drop-stitch bias pattern. Nothing more fun than intentionally dropping stitches.

Now on the needles: Handspun merino socks for me (finishing up sock 1 in the next couple days); handspun Romney sweater for Josie (almost done knitting the body--doing it bottom up in the round).
