Spud, I am feeling quite guilty about having snagged the skein. I'll have lots left over after this Clapotis; shall I bring the rest over when I visit you in June? Alison, I am going to try one of those. I think 64 stitches works best for me; it would be interesting to see how the pattern turns out. Yours is looking great! Stacey, I'm going to keep increasing the Clapotis till I have it about 10-12 inches wide, I think. So it will be a biggish scarf. Thanks, all!

I was just thinking about starting one from my hand dyed that I have sitting around! Do you plan on scarf or shawl width? I'd like a more scarf width one.... PS - you are probalby right about the V Neck being floppy...round neck it will probably be! :) Oooh – nice clapotis!

I hope you like your Clapotis as much as I do. The lace socks are really nice. My socks - the "Fair Isle" part is dyed in specks of about an inch long. As long as you use small needles the color and the background color will each take about two stitches, so the design color will be close to the design color on the previous row. I'm not sure how more stitches would affect it (I am using size 0 needles with 72 stitches), but I think the stripes just might be a little bit thinner. It really is great stuff. Ooh, pretty.

That skein really was one of Laura's best combos, I think. If you hadn't wanted it, I'd totally have bought it. Oh, so pretty! That skein really was one of Laura’s best combos, I think.
