Crafty Ginger: FO - Bamboo Clapotis

Clapotis!!!

I am officially the last person on earth to make a clapotis. My lys was having a sale. Did I mention I love my lys Nana's Knitting Shop in Oak Lawn. Hi Cory!!!! I purchased Schaefer Yarn that is 50% Silk/50% Wool and it is a dream to work with. I will post pictures. I have already wound them up into balls. (I have to get a yarn winder!). I will post pictures of my wip and the yarn. It is gorgeous. I am making the smaller version because I didn't realize that I needed 400 grams and I have 238. The original is so big that even a smaller one will be sufficient. And....that just gives me an excuse to go back and get that Noro I've been eyeing for 3 months!

Now...off to my knitting.

Rasta Hat

This was made after watching knitty gritty. The designer is one I admire for her creativity. I copied down as much as I could and then went on the web www.diy.com/knittygritty and wrote down the rest of the pattern (my printer is down). I've made 5 rasta hats so far and there are 2 on the needles. I'm on to dishcloths and baby clothes now for all the spring babies due.

Besotted Scarf

This is the besotted scarf for my sweetie made on Valentines Day from www.helloyarn.com. It is an awesome pattern and my first cabled project. I used a double pointed needle instead of a cable needle. I used Shetland Chunky Tweed yarn and size 11 needles. It took about 2 weeks.

This is me and I love to knit. I am a business banking officer by day and an avid knitter every chance I get. I have two pre-tweens that keep me very busy (I feel like a chauffer sometimes) and I'm directing a musical production. I love to read and I knit during Law and Order mostly. I like other shows too. I can't knit during Grey's Anatomy; I'll end up ripping and re-doing that row a couple of times. I've learned the hard way. My greatest knitting accomplishment is the Besotted Scarf. I made it for my Boo for Valentine's Day. Once I get this blogging down, all of the pics will be here.

Dishcloth Heaven

I'm kinda new to the blogging community. I promise to post more about me in the future. This is my second dishcloth made. Its the first with a picture pattern counting stitches and all. I've always been into mindless knitting. However, lately I've been into the stuff I never thought I'd do. Hence, the dishcloth. I have a wip of the Angel of Welcome and will post that soon.
