Pattern: Clapotis
Yarn: Oak Grove Yarns Gemini (50% silk, 50% wool), color Desert Sand
Purchased at Stitches West 2006 (and yes, Disco, she will be there this year!!
Started: June 2006
Finished: January 20, 2008
Modifications: I did an extra increase row, but was cutting it close on the yarn so did regular length.
Comments: I have no idea why this stayed untouched for over a year! I absolutely love it and can't believe I finished it in just 5 days! See what a little focus-power does :) And a yarn contest doesn't hurt in motivating either! I can't wait to cast on another in some socks that rock, but I have a few other UFOs that I need to take care of.
Its a bit chilly in New Orleans right now, so I may even take my Clapotis to Mardi Gras this week (yay! I'm going for work again on Wednesday, and it just happens to coincide with some Mardi Gras parades!!!).

Wow! That is beautiful! As someone who recently purchased yarn for this very pattern, it is inspiring.
Oh, it's beautiful! And the colorway is wonderful on you!!
I love it and I like the colors! Your eyes are beautiful!
The colors are great. And they compliment your coloring really well. It's beautiful!
It's gorgeous and looks beautiful on you!
Yay for FO's! It's even more gorgeous than when I saw it on Sat.
And finishing a clapotis is way more fun than all that seaming I had to do. That's for sure.
Hope you have a safe & great trip!
Your Clapotis is so pretty! That yarn has a beautiful sheen to it. Have a great time in New Orleans!
Absolutely awesome! I loveses it! I got to Purlescence late and had missed you and Nartian! Chloe almost had me convinced I needed to buy two skeins of Twist in Ravenscroft, but nay, I resisted! If I can't finish a danged scarf, what makes me think I'll get a Clapotis finished? My sanity was with me that day!
I keep going back and forth on if I want to make a Clap. Of course seeing yours makes me lean toward it :)
Have fun in New Orleans!
very, very nice indeed. Goes great with your jacket. And your eyes. And your hair.
Perfect.
Ooo..pretty! I think I even have that same coat...
And Mardi Gras--I'm jealous!
Oh that's gorgeous!!!! Especially with your eyes.
Have a great time at Mardi Gras!

Oh, wow! It's gorgeous. The colors are perfect. Brown to go with the hair/complexion, blue to bring out those eyes. Excellent choice!
