This is the beautiful ArtYarns Regal Silk that I am using in an attempt to knit a clapotis as part of the Yarn Harlot’s Knitting Olympics. Are you an Olympian? I’m part of Team Clapotis.
Edited to add: I’ve created a simple button for any RevGal Olympic Knitters. It’s in the sidebar. Feel free to use it!
I love my clapotis and what beee-YU-tiful yarn you’ve chosen. Have you joined the clapotis yahoo group? There are a couple of very helpful spreadsheets on there to keep track of the rows.
Are we Team Clergy?
I didn’t know there was a Yahoo group. Yay!
Do you know how to make a button, Emily? Because I want us to have a team. Team Jesus? That’s probably too disrespectful. Team RevGal? Could we do that?
I am button-impaired. Perhaps there is someone? Anyone? Bueller?
Emily, check the sidebar and see if you like what I’ve done. And any RevGal who is knitting, feel free to use it!
Ooh, I like the button! I’ll have to let Jane Ellen know, too, she’s also knitting.
I left her a comment earlier. I’m glad you like it! That’s an itty bit of the picture of my yarn in the corner.
I managed to cast on and knit fourteen rows earlier, but with Pure Luck leaving so soon, I didn’t want to spend the whole evening knitting!!
Now I have yet another piece of evidence that I am truly yarn-impaired. Filed under the category “there is no stupid question except the unasked one”:
What’s a clapotis?
Cheesehead, if it makes you feel any better, I’m making something I don’t know for sure how to pronounce. It’s a big scarf that you knit on the diagonal. It’s French, sort of. It involved unravelling stitches to get a ladder effect, a concept I find terrifying yet irresistible. You can see one here.
Ooohhh..pretty!
Now I almost wish I was a knitter!
Beautiful yarn … your clapotis is going to be wonderful.
Ruth, I hope so!
