My first Clapotis, ladies and gentlemen!

[sitandknit]

I’m so proud, I finally finished my first Clapotis. I’ve worn it everywhere since I finished it (it’s been too warm for wool but dammit, I finished it and I’m going to wear it!), and I had a non-knitter come up to me in the mall to say she liked it and wanted to know where I got it! Which is a big deal to me, coming from someone who doesn’t knit.

must. knit. clapotis.

and that colorway - WOW! it's incredible! ^5!

[sitandknit]

Thank you! I really love how it turned out in these colors.

[charis19]

did you purposely make it bigger?

[sitandknit]

I did, I wanted a definite shawl length, though this turned out longer than I expected.

Wow! Fabulous and dramatic. Now I want one. Maybe I'll splurge on some yarn as a reward when I've survived this semester.

[sitandknit]

Yarn rewards are always the best kind, especially since they give you something so nice to look forward to.

holy bajeebus, i must make that in the same yarn that you used! ahhhhhhhh that is amazingggggggggg

[sitandknit]

Thanks! You should totally make one, it's like wearing a big happy ray of sunshine.

Do it! It's addictive, I can already think of a few more projects that I want to buy more Kauni for. It just knits up so prettily!

Wow, it's really effective in that yarn. Nice job!

[sitandknit]

Thanks :)

I meant to add: if you want a rough idea of how much you used, you could always drop it on the scale at the post office (assuming you don't have a kitchen scale).

I also love how happy you look with it. It's great to see people enjoying their projects.
