***if your my mother.. quit reading RIGHT NOW ***
DUDES!! i cannot tell you how moronic I have been and not knitting the Clapotis earlier. I am LOVING this knit!!! LOVING! It’s all I want to do.. too bad that life is getting in the way and throwing me off the rythym of the clap! I don’t think there is anything so satisfactory as dropping those stitches, ON PURPOSE!
I get all goose bumpy just thinking about it!! It’s delightful. Now, granted.. I am only doing the ‘half clap’ , so does that mean it’s half as enjoyable? I THINK NOT. I cannot wait to get some really great colorful yarn and do the whole thing for one for myself? This one is for my mom … who hasn’t read in the blog in forever..so with my luck she’ll sign on, I’m sure. But, she’s teeny tiny… you can fold her up and put her in your pocket.. so as lovely as the Clapotis is in full form, I don’t think she’d enjoy it as much. I’m on target to get this to her by Mother’s Day.. I don’t think that is going to be an issue at all!
This weekend has been low key and lovely. A calm before the storm. But, the regular things that Sunday brings to get the family ready for the week,took me away from the knitting today, and I cannot wait for the little monsters (husband included!) ( I say that with love) to hit the sack and I can drop those stitches to my hearts content!!! While I watch Rock of Love and Celebrity Fit Club… what a night, only if I had some wine.
that would make it all complete.
I hope your weekend was super duper and you have a great week… I hope to have a finished clappy to show you and then I won’t feel so ostracized on Wednesday night.

Clap on, you clapper you! I need to get the pattern from knitty. Pretty clapotis (why is it called that, btw? I don’t understand. No offense but as pretty as it is, the name sounds like a personal disease if you catch my drift. But I digress…)

I need to make one too….I’ve always admired the pattern but I’ve never found the time to do it….one day
Your Mom will love it. Such a nice mother’s day gift
