The Yarn Eater
December 13th, 2004
I thought I should post a quickie on my Clapotis progress. This baby eats yarn. I didn’t really believe it when I read it on other blogs, but it truly does. I have already gone through about 4 balls and am just over halfway done. Here are some pics:
It’s funny, but I usually only knit this in my apartment, where the lighting is really off, and and at night, when it’s darkish in here. I have these red lampshades that emit a red glow. So I don’t get a true perspective on this colorway until I take a picture when a flashbulb can give me a truer sense of the colors. I really like these colors! It’s more colorful than I though, albeit in a very subdued way. This has been a fun knit. It’s taking a bit longer than I thought it would, though. The word “scarf” is decieving! Hopefully I will have a finished Clapotis to show you the next time I post.
Hope you are enjoying your week! My week is filled with office parties. I have a party for my department (Information Services) tommorrow evening, the staff/faculty party Wednesday, and the library potluck on Thursday. The food at all of these events is awesome! I keep telling everyone that I want to come up with an Orradre Libarary potluck cookbook. There are some great cooks here.
Better go knit on “The Yarn Eater” some more…

I just love your Clapotis. The colors are yummy! That’s what I heard…it’s hungry and eats up tons of yarn. I think I want to knit her.
