I had been pondering knitting a clapotis for a while, but never had a REAL urge to do so until recently. When I saw the silk yarn and thought about the yardage I was getting, I figured it would be nice to maybe knit one for someone I know. But, my problem now is that my elbow didn’t heal completely and I don’t want to “experiment” with my nice yarns. Hence, the no work on Rogue.

I’m going back in the sling, for lack of a more exciting phrase. I was picking up some socks from the bottom of the clothes bin and it started hurting horribly. So, I am back to knitting fairly simple things. I think the clapotis is something simple, but my silk yarn hasn’t arrived yet. I am giving it about another week, then I will start worrying.

I have plenty of acrylic on the shelves and I have seen a couple of clapotis knit from Caron Simply Soft and think they look good, so I’m using some Autumn Red (9730) and giving it a whirl. The eldest munchkin has expressed much interest in acquiring it. I will probably give it to her if it looks OK.

I did manage to knit something while my elbow was hurt. It was a cover for some pink throw pillows we had. I used the “pet” yarn from JoAnn’s and now everyone is trying to steal it. I’ve managed to hide it, but I have a feeling I may be making a few more of them just to get them to back off. I locked my arm to my side and knit fine that way, though a bit slower. Pictures will be available hopefully in the next day or so. The weather hasn’t been favorable for good picture taking lighting. I can get some of the most gorgeous natural lighting through one particular window.
