How could anyone (that knits or crochets of course...lol) pass up the chance to knit with friends. I love getting together with my knitting friends and chatting about anything and everything while we knit! Spending time with people that like to do the same things as you is very rewarding, and even though we all protest i am sure great for the stash enhancement and load of WIPS.
Case in point, today knitting with my friends one of them was making a Clapotis. Now, I have looked at it, and thought yeah maybe some day with the right yarn and alot of time...lol...i would do this, it doesnt look hard, its basically stockinette stitch and you drop some of the stitches on purpose. Ok, I can do that, I just dont think I have anything I would like to do that with, and then i would push it aside. I hadn't even added it to my Ravelry Queue.
Well getting back to today my friend was knitting one, but a modified version (skinnier version) in a very lovely Tape yarn called Bonsai by Berroco. oh it is soooooo lovely, she picked an awesome colorway too, nice colors. WELL, she let me and one of our other friends pull the dropped stitches, and from that moment on i knew i had to make one.
So on with my Clapotis, which by the way almost everyone has made at some point...lol with
and rising it is a popular project.
Mine, will be made out of the tofu (4101) colorway from Berroco, it is a whitish color with bling, very nice, i figure i dont have anything made in white and i love the look of it in the skein.
I will also be making the mondified version, skinnier then the original, so that i could wear it as a decorative scarf.
Oh yes and also I worked on my Cairn Hat today, and after I got home and changed needles i finished it off so here it is!!
I am giving it to my friend Karen, she just loved it, and I will make a pink and grey one to match my new coat!!
I was also going through some of my containers tonight of yarn and remembered i have this cute project just about done so i will finish that off over the next week i think.
it is just about done, i think why didnt i finish it!!!
Oh yes and
