Pattern: Clapotis
Yarn: Misti Alpaca worsted in Aubergine
Needles: Knit Picks Circs size 7
Notes: Well what can I say about the clap that hasn’t already been said before? I mean I think almost everyone in blogland has made one. That being said I made this for a specific dress and it was the first time I had really done that. The variation I did purled instead of using markers and I twisted on either side of the dropped stitch. If I made it again I’ll mirror the twists and might use markers cause I think it would go a hell of a lot faster. The yarn was fantastic thought, really even and no knots. I enjoyed the project though towards the end of the straight section I was ready to stick a needle in my eye. I wish it had blocked out a tad bit bigger. Its about 22″ x 62″ But anyway its done. If I ever get a hold of the alchemy yarn I want I’ll make another. It would make fantastic a gift.
