knit a clapotis
started it, but there are flaws 3 months ago

I ordered cheap yarn from Knit Picks, it is very nice. The colors are fall colors, a little garish, but I think it will work up nicely, and they fit me, so there.

Hmmm, there is no edge to the pattern. There is no edge? I got to the increase rows, and I ripped it all out and added 4 garter stitches to the end of every row. There.

Hmmm… I also decided to work the stitch to be unraveled in reverse… in other words, I knit it on the purl side, and purl it on the knit side. That way I don’t need stitch markers.

Also, how come the stitch next to the to-be-unravelled stitch is not twisted on the purl side? I decided to twist it, even though the pattern doesn’t say to.

Does anyone think those last two changes will make a significant difference in the finished clapotis??

SUMMERELLE would love to meet some new people

Hello

I actually had to put the word clapotis into google image as I had no idea what they are, but my, I am impressed that you’re going to knit one. In fact, would you be able to send one over to me in London, once you’ve finished- they look rather incredible things!!

it's easy

Mine’s only about 1/4 of the way done right now, not even. It’s going to take forever.

This is not a difficult knitting project, although the instructions do appear daunting. Grab yourself some needles and yarn.
