I have gone and caught The Clap. This is yarn I spun from fiber I got from the Spunky Club this month. It is Superwash in two colorways, DandyLion and Maccaw! They are plied together in 800 yards of worsted weight. My hubby loved the way it looked, but I already had plans for it. I told him if I didn't hit my yardage then I would make him something out of it. I love unzipping the drop stitches.I also joined in with the Galveston Mystery Shawl KAL. I purchased a complete set of KnitPicks Options as a birthday present to myself this year and a bunch of laceweight. I was planning to purchase copies of A Gathering of Lace and Heirloom Knitting, but it takes 3-5 weeks to get Heirloom Knitting and with the move I wasn't sure what address we would be at in 5 weeks. So I was pleased when I found the KAL that I wouldn't have to give up my ideas of lace knitting until after the move.
I finished the first clue last night! I worked it on one circular needle using the magic loop. After the confusion over the first couple rows of the pattern were worked out it was a very easy chart to follow! I love the pattern so far and I can't wait to see what happens on the next clue!
"Caught the Clap!" ROTFL--that's the first time I heard it put that way... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a mystery knitalong... Must. finish. current. projects.
Oh Amy!!!! That clapotis is so gorgeous!!!!!! I am so impressed, it looks fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard about that mystery KAL, sounds neat!
Amy - you are putting me to shame, what with having spun and knit your Spunky club fiber already! I am SO behind but loving collecting Amy's (the other Amy) fiber!
ReplyDeleteI was telling Amy (the other Amy) that it is due to the stress of the house. I am throwing myself into intense fiber therapy rather than running around screaming at people. Seems to be a more productive way to go.
ReplyDeleteoooh these almost make me want to knit - almost ;)

ReplyDeletethat clapotis is gorgeous! I've been wanting to knit one but i keep hearing how monotonous they are and i have attention span problems
ReplyDeleteOh boy!! You too!! I'm on my 3rd...it's so much fun, and even 'funner' to wear! However I've never spun enough to knit one out of it! I bow to your spinning! lol
ReplyDeleteyour clap is HOT! i love the bright colors! you actually might convince me that i might just knit another... even though it was torturous for me the first time... anyhow, beautiful!
