Clapotis 2007 KAL
oohhhhhhh.
Pretty.
Debating…(since I just frogger my entire FIRST sock. :grrr: )
I gotta get a new printer cartridge so I can print out the pattern…then yarn! :cheering:
I’m in - I have my yarn and printed the pattern… now I just have to get started. The PFB is throwing me for a loop!

I will watch the thread see if you all need any help. I have made two of these babies and really they are super easy, just also very easy to forget where you are. I really enjoyed knitting mine just remember thoes stitch markers! (or you can purl the rows to be dropped. I did that with the second one and didn’t have to mess with all of the markers. Have fun all 
:cheering:
Any yarn recommendations other than the suggested in the pattern?
Im open to shopping…(of course) but not paying out my nose for the yarn. :roflhard:
Almost any yarn will do except fuzzy or sticky ones. Probaly the cheapest alternative is Caron’s Simply Soft though it’s a solid color, but the SS Shadows works too. Lots of people used Knitpicks Shimmer doubled; I made one in Shimmer triple stranded. I can help too, I’ve made lots of them.

Me, me! I have three skeins of KnitPicks Bare in the wool/silk blend. Now I just have to figure out what colors I’m going to dye it!
Ohhh I just remembered that I do have a spreadsheet for the Clap if anyone wants it. It is supposed to help keep track of where you are. check off the rows as you go. I didn’t end up using it but a lot of ppl I talked to loved using it.
PM me and I will e-mail it to you
I started on this last night! I got all the way to the first dropped stitch! I LOVE this pattern so far!!! 
This is on my long list of things to make. I got some Regal Silk at one of the many sales posted about. I am not going to make it as big though. I found thesemodified instructions for a scarf size one. But there is also instructions on how to make it smaller on the pattern also.
I’m in! I just ordered some Mmmmmm today which I finally managed to find here in Germany. My plan is to knit my mom a clapotis for Christmas, but I might as well get started now. :teehee:
So as soon as my yarn is here I’ll be joining in! :cheering:
If you want to see what I ordered I posted it at the top of my blog (url in my signature). I can’t wait to get my order!!

I made mine using a a ribbon yarn Giotto in colorway Raphael. I absolutely love it! Thankfully I go the yarn on sale. I modified mine so it wouldn’t be so wide. It was super easy to do.
Mintdee I never thought of purling the drop rows what a brilliant idea.
Here is a close up picture of mine 
Ooohhh…that looks so cool on ribbon yarn.
Now I think I want to try in ribbon yarn…Ill hit Michaels later this week…they have some on sale, I think.
I think I might join in. I was wondering though, it’s all in stockinette stitch, will dropping the stitches help it not to curl so much?
:??
I got to the 2nd dropped stitch tonight. Thats my goal, to make it through the pattern to the dropped stitch (my reward) every evening. Not bad considering I work 2 jobs.
Here are pics:
Yes. Though curling is part of the design, the dropped stitches and being knit on the bias keep it from curling as much as regular stockinette.

I definately want to make this. I’m thinking for my grams for her birthday.
Not sure if I want to do Ribbon yarn or Mmmmmmmmm…
Will have to decide soon. I just need to finish my right hand of Fetching, then I am in.
