Clapotis for $200, Alex
What is the French word for a knitting project that is cool, yet drives one crazy and can be a little boring at times? NO? Oh, you wanted "What is the French word for a scarf that is the latest craze?" I finished the Clapotis and I love it. I am excited to take it over the pond soon and see how handy it will be. I've already used it as a lap throw over my legs keeping them warm from the AC. It is about 6 feet long, gold, brown and ecru varigated. I have some thread left over that I might try to make some wrist warmers to match. (CLAP-O-TEE)
The Calpotis has a drop stitch in the pattern which is fun when you get to that point. You really start to see the pattern "POP OUT" at you. Then when you get to the decreasing part - it takes off like a bandit.
Will I make another one???? Are you crazy???? Yes, I do intend to make another one in a shorter scarf version using a solid color. But, first other projects on the needles must be finished. I have a scarf for son #1 that has been in the works since last January.

A beautiful clapotis knitted by the Contessa. ;-)
Greetings from Broken Arrow!
I was wanting to make a Clapotis. So glad I met you to learn to go for the Scarf version instead! Whew ~ You saved me from insanity.
P.S. Keep me posted on the Colin Firth stalker. Your background sure came in handy picking up on that one! "An unidentified employee for the Royal Mail in London was arrested on August 24 for harassing British Bridget Jones actor Colin Firth. The mailwoman, who has been taken into custody for stalking Firth in the past, had applied to move her delivery route in order to deliver his mail."
hmmmmmmmm!
It looks so soft and smooth. Congrats with finishing such a lovely piece of knitting.
