Inspired
December 6th, 2004
Don’t mind me. I’m kind of thinking out loud here. But join in if you want, I don’t mind. I was really inspired by Cari’s “thirteen ways of looking at Clapotis” post. In fact, I’ve never really seen the Dogs Steal Yarn blog before. I was (avoiding work) and googling “Clapotis blog” to see if I could find out what kinds of yarn people are using to knit up Clapotis. this post was the first on the list and I thought it was so clever! And I really like that she choose Silk Garden. I love how the stiping effect of the silk garden contrasts with the “sriping” of the dropped stitches.
Now I’m wondering. I havve about 10 balls of silk garden that I was planning on using for Karlsro from CTH 1. But now I’m thinking that I should use it instead for Clapotis. Hmmm. I don’t want to buy yarn right now, see, as I’m on a yarn diet. I wouldn’t mind trying out Lorna’s Laces Lion and Lamb, if only to just try it out. But I don’t want to wait for it to come. And there’s that whole yarn diet thingy.
I can see that I have some decisions to make here……
oooh! Have you seen the new knitty? I’m really loving Belle epoque. I’m in a really girly phase right now. Oh, I guess I stopped thinking to myself

I agree with you on the Dogs Steal Yarn post on Clapotis. Very, very clever. You should try the Silk Garden & knit Clapotis. I love it in that yarn. Decisions, decisions!
