Notes

Vacation yarn from France, what better to knit with it than a Clapotis?

March 21, 2019

This yarn is incredibly thin and dainty. Much more lace than fingering. Also, not sure how dropping the ladders will go, since this is sticky single-ply yarn.

This project is so incredibly boring, that if it wasn’t for the pretty color transitions of the yarn, I would probably enjoy myself more if I were to stab myself in the eye with a blunt knitting needle.

Also, as expected, not enjoying dropping the ladders with this fuzzy-single-ply yarn, but at least the yarn is pretty.

Turns out that my stoopid scales were fuckt, so I switched too early to section 4, thinking that I was already approaching the last 2/5s of my yarn. I was not. Bound off with 17 grams left over which could have easily meant 2 more repeats. Such a shame, especially since my second ball suddenly introduced pastel stripes into the mix (tho same dye lot!), and the end of the ball would have brought back the bright blues and reds.

Still, this grew a lot while blocking and is beautiful.
