Catch the Clap
…seems that everyone else has. I finished this, lo, a long time ago for my grandmother’s birthday. Still need to mail it out – I am so behind on the mailing side of things, as well as the blogging side of things. In Silk Garden 8, on US 8 Addi turbos, Clapotis from Knitty. I twisted all stitches beside the drop (knit-side and purl-side), along with doing mirrored decreases; these suggestions came from Needles&Hooks. I also purled the drop stitches on the right side instead of using markers; this is a common tip on the internets, and I forget who originated it. I did a swatch, mostly for my own amusement, since it is not the sort of thing that really needs one.
Full-length shot:
Very pretty! I purled the stitches, too, instead of placing the zillion sitchmarkers–it was the best tip!
it looks great! how does it look on? I love the colors! and thanks for all the tips, I have it as one of mine “soon to knit” list…
Love love love the colors. I’m sure your Grandmother will love it too.
Ahhhh. That coloring is soooo tranquil. It makes your blog nice to color comtemplate on.
Please mail it to grandma this weekend.
How many skeins of silk garden did you use? =)
I have 4 just begging to be made into something and was wondering if I didn’t do too many increase rows if it might be enough for a narrow version…
Nice clap.
I could stare at it for hours.
*hugs*
TTYS!

Silk Garden 8 is one of my favorite colorways ever! It makes such a gorgeous Clapotis. Somehow, the pattern makes the blues look even deeper than they already are. Gorgeous.
