Clapotis completis

The Clapotis, she is done.

Er, well, more or less. It turns out that in Silk Garden, stitches don't so much drop as have to be pulled out, so there are still a few places where I need to finish doing that - but at least it's done enough to wear, assuming I ever figure out how. (But it's going to work this week whether or not I figure out how to wear it well.)

I was so excited to finish that I dropped by Kids' Town yesterday to show it off to Alison - I'd forgotten she's in Durango but fortunately Ilanna was there and she oohed and ahhed over it very satisfactorily. She also showed me two scarves she's just finished. One is done in narrow stripes of two different Noro colorways; it's gorgeous and looks like an escapee from a kaleidoscope.

Next on the needles: I'm about a toe-length into a sock for Rudder, trying to figure out why socks are supposed to be such a quick project. With luck I won't get too frustrated to make a mate for this one.

Wow! Yours is the first Clapotis I've actually seen and liked. Very, very nice.

Your color choice is fantastic! I also made one out of Noro Silk Garden, but the colors aren't half as beautiful as yours. Enjoy and feel proud!

Just wondering...how is the softness factor? I'm in love with the colors, but I know Noro has a tendency to be a little on the abrasive side. Beautiful work, by the way!
