My weeks have been very full.
Full of working on long-stagnant household projects thanks to parents visiting here.
It took a few years, but I love my bathroom!
Full of holiday events while visiting parents there.
Did you see this guy in your parade?
And full of propping up the bum foot everywhere.
I might want to hold on to this boot. Knowing me, I'll probably need it again someday.
I have been working diligently all the while on my Clapotis, and it's almost done! I should be able to block it out Monday so that it will be ready just in time for my annual fancy-date-night with the husband. Yay!
Now, I will be honest and admit that Clapotis was not my ideal pattern for this yarn. My ideal pattern would have been a more delicate lace. Something more complicated and feminine (don't those two words go hand in hand?).
But that by no means diminishes my love for this project. It is still lovely and airy (a simple femininity?) and I cannot wait to see how blocking finishes the final fabric!
And, having never worked with anything finer than a sport weight yarn for an entire project, I would absolutely recommend this pattern as the perfect primer for working with a lace weight. (I never once felt like throwing it across the room!) Just remember that if it's mohair you will need a very delicate hand and a great deal of patience with the dropped stitches.
So there you have it. That's what I've been full of. How 'bout you?
