There is a story here, but I will show it with pictures
Why is this entry under knitting? I'll get to that. We went to a wonderful Bar Mitzvah on Saturday! God what a great time I had! Well, we all had a great time. I am not Jewish, man they put on one hell of a party! Any way, I took this picture of my son at the party. He lost one of his front teeth
I just had to share. This is such an awkward age! Your teeth fall out, big ones grow in and your head isn't proportionate enough to make the big teeth look good. You all know what I am talking about. The next picture is another one of my son. Showing his very cool hat
What has this to do with knitting? Why didn't I make him a hat with a skull and cross bones on it? I did come up with a skull chart. I got the damn thing at Walmart (a store I loathe, but for kids clothes, hey, they grow out of them so fast) for 5 bucks! Besides I was busy working on
I sure hope I don't run out of steam. I really enjoy knitting on this. But I don't think I will use this yarn again. It is like knitting with limp shoelaces! It isn't going as fast as I would like it to go. But I can't wait to finish it. It is going to be a beauty.
Here is a close up of the yarn

I know it's no fun to work with but the Soy Silk has such great drape and gorgeous stitch deffinition. Your Clapotis is probably the prettiest I've seen yet!

Even if it is like knitting with limp shoelaces, it is so pretty! I love the colors! :) Take care, Beth!

Your clapotis is coming along very nicely. ^_^ That's a lovely colour that you've chosen.

Hey! I just googled 'phoenix clapotis' and found yours. Do you still love it? How is it holding up? How much yardage did you use? If you could email me your opinions, I'd greatly appreciate it. :)

I'm looking at making the Clapotis in soy silk too and, like the poster above, wondered how much yardage you used and how you like it now. I'd love an email if you have a minute :) Thanks!
