clapotis update
sorry i haven't been posting. i seem to have caught the cold going round. it has also been beautiful here so i have been soaking up the sun. i did manage to knit quite a bit. which means i finally finished clapotis! i was pretty excited. the only thing is....i don't really love the yarn now. it is ok, but i think i should have gone with pastels. the other issue - i ran out of yarn. that is right. i ran out of $28 a skein yarn 20 rows before finishing. i was SO mad. i had to wing it because there is now way i was buying another skein of the yarn. especially since i decided i didn't love it. so the end is kinda wacky, but not horribly noticeable. i am trying not to dwell on it, but it really sucks. i just feel like my last major projects have gone amiss. argh.
i will post pictures of the clapotis soon. i also hope to get my alchemy yarn in the next few days. it is destined to be a more narrow and slightly longer version of clapotis. i can't wait to get started and actually feel successful (fingers crossed)!

I ran out of yarn for my clapotis too. I even stop one or two 12 row repeats before it said I should because I had a feeling I'd run out. I think they underestimated the amount of yarn you need for one!
Sorry you don't like it as much as you thought you would. Maybe it'll grow on you!
Oh, dear...now I'm afraid, too! I ordered three skeins of Vera after I saw yours. I wonder if there's a way to "downsize" the pattern before I start, so I won't run out? I'm with you...no way will I order another skein. Yikes!
everyone ran out of yarn for Clapotis -- it ends up using about 800 yds!
ps. love your Clapotis and your Amy Butler bag -- I may have to dust of my sewing machine!
