Clapotis progress
It's coming along nicely! I love the way the dropped stitches look. I love knitting with this silk...it's so shiny and comfortable. I can't wait to see what it's like when it's all finished.
Clapotis
The clapotis is coming along astonishingly well! I am really enjoying it! I've just started the 6th repeat on the straight rows. I am going to have to do a little math to figure out just how many repeats I can do. I'm nearly at the end of the first hank so I've weighed it and will calculate how much yarn my remaining repeats will require. It's hard to say. I've already skipped one increase and I think that was for the best. I don't want a ton leftover so I hope to be able to do all the straight rows. I can't wait for the decreases though...and to drop all those stitches!
Star Wars strife...
Well, I said it before...this project is going to kick my ass. I'm somewhat proud of myself for correcting what could have been a hideous mistake requiring the undoing of two rows. With a 277 stitch cast on, that's not good news. But, with the aide of a spare set of needles, I was able to drop down two rows the width of the final S in wars where I made the mistake of adding in an extra set of three white stitches for the first leg of the R after the A (don't ask me how I did this) and I knitted the correct colours back in and worked back up the 2 rows to rejoin the rest of the work. I impressed myself with a) actually fixing it, and b) not crying and throwing it across the room (which seemed like a viable option when I first discovered the error.) There's some gappiness that I will have to deal with, but I don't think it will be noticeable in the least. As my mother said, it is being made with love and the person I give it to won't even think to notice it! I have now completed 24 rows of the 40 row pattern. Of course, I'm making it double height so I can graft it into a tube so I'm not even half done. But once it's all black (rows 41-80) it'll go fast, I'd expect.
I'm finding a lot of errors in the patterns...these are copyrighted things. If I'm making my own corrections, at what point would this still be the copyrighted pattern? Hmm....
