I started this just before my birthday with yarn I bought at the Alamitos Bay annual sale. The colors aren’t my favorite when the yarn is in the skein/ball but I really love how it knitted up in this pattern. I still love the Clapotis pattern but the boring repeats sort of drove me crazy after awhile. I’ve told myself I’ll think about making another one in a few months, probably using sock yarn.
This was actually finished a couple weeks ago but I just hadn’t gotten around to writing an FO post yet. Not that I’ve actually taken any FO photos or woven in the ends yet, either. I WILL weave in ends, take photos, and ship this to Erin next week. I really have no excuse. For now you just get a whole ton of WIP photos all at once.
