bex78 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 There's a deffinate nip in the air today, I think Autumn is well and truely on the way so I'll start wearing my clapotis now I think. See if I can hold off wearing a coat for a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I was thinking the same this morning. I got off the bus in town and it was blowing a gale! Good job I don't have to walk far. I really need to reblock my Clapotis though, as one of the corners managed to get a bit elongated - I've no idea how or why. Presumably i stretched it too much while blocking it the first time around. I think I might try a wet block and try to get it back into perfect shape. I wish I wasn't such a perfectionist. You can't tell that it's a bit wonky on one corner when it's on, but it's enough that I know the wonkiness is there . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bex78 Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 I'm much the same with cross stitch. if I'm so much as one square out I have to unpick it. Mind you, I usually find that off square is at an important shaping [part and will look horendous if I leave it. I didn't block clapotis, I do like the curly look. Iwas thinking of doing one for evenings out, so I might block it then to make it look smarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an interesting point; I wonder where we're all from? I think we need a thread with a poll... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 As pretty as that is, I'm rarely to be found in my own knitwear or crochet garments, and I'm unlikely to be seen in a Clapotis. I can't bear anything too warm round me (so that rules out most jumpers) or anything round my neck, cos I don't want to start a hot flush off, so my friends and family are the recipients of most of virtually everything I make. (Am I a knitting group undercover member?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodle Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Here's Clapotis. That's pretty, looks a bit too complicated for me to do just yet. I'm still mastering the purl stitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
