Clapotis

My Clapotis is coming on wonderfully well (I'm sure you're not supposed to say that this early on...), and I'm up to the seventh increase repeat, which would usually be the last. This is for my mum though, and it's to replace what's commonly known in the family as her 'horse blanket', so it's going to be a definite shawl size. I'm going to do a couple extra increase repeats and see how wide that ends up...I'm thinking nine ought to do it.

The yarn (Manos del Uruguay Silk, colour 7032) is wonderfully soft and warm - probably the best yarn I've ever knit really, and it's a joy to slip through your fingers. It's a bit pricey at £11.25 a skein, but it's fairly good in terms of yardage - you get 300 metres per 100g skein, which is better than most yarns of a similar weight. I've got 2 skeins, but will buy more if I need to.

I'll see if I can get some decent pictures taken tomorrow - my mobile is coming out all dark for some reason.
