Oh happy day! I finished Clapotis Wednesday night, but she wasn't primed for her debut that night. Although I did wear her on Thursday for a trial run, I was still a little concerns about how stiff she was. After a nice bath and steaming her into submission, she's soft and has a lover-ly drape. And I have weeks to enjoy her before my cousin's wedding!
Here she is!
Clapotis' debut! Since I'm not a huge fan of variegated yarn, I decided to use this yarn instead. It's a natural colored wool paired with a variegated glittery ribbon. So instead of being large color changes, it's very suble sprinkling of brown, orange and gold. Flecks of color and sparkle abound!
All those twisted and dropped stitches
So purty!
Mariah's favorite and mine: GLITTER!
This is a better view of the ribbon and the sparkle. The metallic thread catches the light beautifully. How DIVA! Unlike Mariah, however, I promise never to wear a bandana as a bra. Cooler heads shall always prevail.

Pictures! Cheese!!!

I thought I was done with the bottom, but realized upon attempting to sew it up that I needed to add a few more sections for it to fit...
In the home stretch! One or two more sections and it will be completed! Wait, I have to find buttons, and wash and block...it's always something. Amazingly enough, I was able to sew the sleeves in myself! I didn't have to beg mom to do it!

I love this scarf pattern, but I'm not really happy about the look of the dropped stitches with this yarn, so it may become a tank top or something.
I read this tutorial on recycling yarn and decided to try it...I found a pretty silk and cashmere sweater, ripped it to pieces and have a decent amout of yarn for $4! Pretty exciting. I will do it again, but next time I'll be smart enough to wait until summer...this yarn took a week to dry!
Pray that I'll have pictures of completed projects soon! YIPEEE...
