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.
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'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?!
