much better
yesterday was turning out to be such a good day. i really was in a groove with my entrelac stole and then at around 4 p.m. i got sick. i could barely walk and was nauseated. i had no choice but to give up the knitting and go to bed. me thinks it is vertigo. i had it a few years ago and have noticed similar signs lately. it just doesn' t have the room spinning like it did before. to put how sick i was in knitting terms? i had a package of yarn waiting for me at the apartment office and i couldn't muster going to get it!
but today i felt better. and i did manage to make it to the office. and there indeed was the lovely vera.
yeah! i get to start on clapotis! finally! if i am 100% tomorrow then clapotis will commence!
the stole is now over 1/2 way complete. it is making an excellent lap blanket as i knit it.
for those of you who have noticed, my archives are currently not working. they are there, it is just blogger is not pointing to the right directory. it is weird. i have emailed them (my ftp path setting is correct). hopefully i can get it fixed back up soon. i also apologize to those of you who view my blog on a PC. i use a mac to blog, and it doesn' t show those terrible blue borders on my links that i just discovered on the PC side. i took care of that so now it looks a bit better. (sorry that is the designer in me who actually kinda freaked out when i realized my blog looked like that on a PC!)
also, a commenter on my blog today noticed that the ears on my bunnies didn't stand straight up like everybody else's. hmmm, i didn't alter the pattern. could it be the yarn i chose? i am not sure, maybe i didn't interpret the pattern correctly, although it isn't a difficult one. i'll have to knit a few more and see what happens i guess! :)

Oh, I love the Vera yarn! I'm anxious to see how it looks when you start to knit it. I may have to copy and order the same. I have to say, the hank (to me) looks very different than the little "bowtie" sample they show on their site. I really like it better! Hope you're feeling well soon.
Sorry you were feeling so blah! That's definitely no fun, especially when you have such nice clapotis yarn waiting for you. Can't wait to see it worked up!
I love the stole! Not too many people are knitting them, and I have wanted to see what it looked like in some different colors. What yarn are you using? Not the one the pattern calls for? I have been looking for a less expensive version to use, and so far I haven't been able to find one. Your stole looks wonderful, and I cannot wait to see the fo.
Oooh aaah, beatiful yarn for the clapper! Can't wait to see it knit up! It's one of my favorite scarfy shawl patterns. Feel better soon!
The stole is absolutely gorgeous! The bright colors and neutral colors work really well together! Which Kureyon colors did you use? And how many skeins of each? I want to make one just like it!
I used noro kureyon. here is how it broke down..
main color was #150
knit 4 rows of MC
2nd color was #91
knit 2 rows of second color
knit 4 rows of MC again
3rd color was #138 (i think)
knit 2 rows of 3rd color
then i repeated this scenario. 4 rows is about 1 ball of yarn.
hope this helps!!
