this is my clapotis that i am making for robin. the picture doesn't even come close to how pretty this yarn is. it is not so brown as much as grey and purple and blue and red.

I thought you said clitoris, indeed you said clapotis. I have no idea what a clapotis is. Is it a baby thing? washcloth? hat?

clapotis is french for "spray and waves". it is a wrap/shawl/scarf
the original pattern is here (http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall04/PATTclapotis.html) (i chose prettier colors than the pattern!

I also wondered what a clapotis is? It's very pretty. How big will it get?

i'm not entirely sure how large it will be. the ones i have seen.....some of them cover the backs of large couches. some are more like scarves like in the pattern pictures on knitty.com. i am hoping for something in between.

i didn't know the word "clapotis"... but the pic looks like a fine start on a bikini bottom... i pretty much ran with it from there. (to a bad place, of course)*grin*

i may need to adopt that word using my new meaning... of course with my attention span... wanna ride a bike?!
