Le châle est fini.

In other words, La Clapotis is finished.

I liked the shimmer yarn (Knitpicks; Stained Glass Colorway) The finished product is SO VERY SOFT. Huggable. Not much pooling of color at all -- only one area of pink that is visible in the top picture. Doubling the yarn must prevent a lot of the pooling.


I should mention that I used about 1340 yards of shimmer -- this is, of course, about 20 yards more than three skeins. I might have made it in three, except for the dreaded knotting incident, which was solved by removing the knots with scissors. I actually didn't sacrifice too much yarn, so I don't know (???). Three skeins or four? I used US size 8 needles.

your clapotis is beautiful! i'm addicted to mine, and after knitting it on and off for like 2 months, i'm doing a little every day. i am in th 2nd repeat of the straight section and it's so much fun to drop those stitches!

will you be making another?

 

Will I be making another? Not soon; but maybe sometime. It is a fun pattern -- easy to knit -- and I liked it!
