"Clapotis, c’est fini! ‘ It’s a scarf:
"It’s a wrap!"
I have to confess, I was wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. I had bad thoughts about Clapotis prior to knitting one. I approached it with great trepidation and was equally rewarded. It’s prettier than anticipated and the dropped stitches don’t get caught on jewelry and buttons like I expected. Even the pooling and flashing evened out as the columns opened up.
Not sure I’d use a silk blend again; the stitch dropping part was interminable. No more than three stitches would run at a time, due to its velcro-like attachment. I’m afraid of future pilling as you could hear the stitches tearing apart from each other, leaving behind a trail of fuzz.
The size is perfect for 600 meters of yarn, stopping at half way through the sixth repeat in section two and adding two repeats to section three. I’ve done a lot of knitting and this is probably one of my most favourite functional items. # 2 is on its way:
