Clever Clapotis

[an_sceal]

Clapotis is making me feel quite clever indeed. I've reached the magical "drop your stitches" bit, and it's a little intoxicating to let one of them loose on purpose, and watch it work all the way down the fabirc.

Dyed a little more, and gorged myself at the Mongolian buffet in Williamsburg. We went across the river on the ferry for no good reason, drove a few miles out into deepest, darkest Suffolk Co., and then turned around and came back across. It was pointless, fun, and pretty much free, as long as you don't count the gas it took to drive onto the ferry.

I am behind on my writing, but still getting it done, and only have a week left of Tom's visit, so I will probably be rather scarce. Expect pictures of some variety soon. I haven't totally abandoned the idea of Tell Me Tuesdays, but I definitely want to get some pictures in the bag before I try again, or I'll just forget.

Better woman than I, love! I couldn't get into Clapotis, after three attempts, I gave up.

I'm spinning up the fiber that I bought for you and it's going beautifully but I wanted to ask you if you remembered WHAT it was, exactly. 'Cause I've forgotten the fiber content like the big ole dork I am ;-)

Is it the Here Foxy? If so, I believe that was kid mohair. if you tell me the colourway I can look it up.

No, the Here Foxy (which is indeed kid mohair) is waiting for me to get a lighter weight spindle that spins for more than two seconds before I spin it 'cause I have plans for it and want to maximize the yardage I get out of it! It's actually Deco and if I'd been thinking I would have searched my e-mail for the receipt. superfine merino top. It's turning out very, very nice so far...I'll try to post pictures of the singles at some point. I'm going back and forth about whether I want to navajo ply it or not so far.
