Have I really knit five of these? Let me check my archives. #4 was the narrower silk garden variety. I recently considered frogging #3 to use the yarn in weaving, as the rayon metallic has proved too drapey for the clap. It hangs like a limp rag around my neck. #2 was a gift, not photographed and #1 was my favourite until now. It was my pilly but comfortable Silk Maiden Clapotis, a perfect hiking scarf.
They say practice makes perfect and this is it. No forgotten lines of intentionally dropped stitches and the best yarn I have ever knit with – Madelinetosh Pashmina. I'll report back in a year regarding its colourfastness or pillage.
Pattern: Clapotis, free from Knitty
Yarn: Madelinetosh Pashmina Colour: Spectrum
Needles: US Size 7
Modifications: added four repeats in the middle straight section
Thoughts: Bring on #6 as long as I can knit it with Madelinetosh Pashmina. Bring on anything as long as it's with Madelinetosh Pashmina.
