Wow… exciting things are happening.
I finished the Clapotis. FINALLY! After starting it in January 2008, getting pregnant, having the needle pulled out multiple times by a toddler, having a newborn, life, and all that stuff, the commitment to finish it worked! It actually only took another month of work. Most of the time, it was only a few times a week I got to work on it. So, for most people, it will take far less time! I am still looking for the great photo opportunity to catch it in all it’s glory. I am sure pleased with the finished product though! WOW!
I have a few new projects I am working on, namely the Habitat hat by Jared Flood. My first one (pictured below) was made as a gift, but I just fell in love with the pattern. Fell. In. Love. The picture was actually snapped seconds before we had to mail it off to make it to it’s recipient in time.
All the cables (and all that cable practice, come to think of it!) magically work into such a great design! It is also a really fun hat to practice cabling without a needle on! The charted cables repeat so quickly that it just lends itself to this cable method and there is plenty of practice so your hands learn what to do. I have another Habitat currently on the needles for a class I will be teaching at The Knitting Nest on September 12 from 2 to 4. I am looking forward to sharing this hat and the cabling without a needle technique with you! See you there!
