Hi! I joined the list a short while ago in anticipation of doing my first Clapotis with Elizabeth Lavold's Silky Wool, but that hasn't happened yet. I got a...
Hi - and welcome =) Once you get started and have worked on it for a while, you'll find you don't need the spreadsheet [at least, that was my experience]....
Hi all! Well, I'd like to take the plunge and dive into Clapotis, but I'm stuck between yarns. Not so much color, but weight. I'd like to do it in Lorna's...
Hi, I recently finished a Clapotis in Lorna's Laces Sport (mixed berries colorway). I did a few extra sets of the straight section for length. I only did the...
I think the most important thing in making the Clapotis is using a yarn you love. I have some Koigu that I'm going to use for mine (which is on hold until...
Hee, I just looked at your blog and I'm a French major too! (at the University of Northern Iowa) and I don't just have knitters AD/HD, I have the regular...
Greetings, I am a newbie, looking forward to time off during the holidays, and have decided to start my first clapotis in Sea Silk. I am 5 feet tall. Based...
good luck with the sea silk clappy. i'm thinking of that for my next one. i hope you'll post pics and modifications. i knit 2 claps in the recommended yarn...
I know this isn't a Lorna's yarn but I got 667 yards of Petal (50 silk/50 merino) for 34.80 in a glorious colour called Ginger Peach from Lisa Souza. She's an...
This is a great yarn, but at a recommended 7.5 stitches/inch it is much lighter than the Lion and Lamb used in the original. Are you going to double the yarn...
As a short person (5'1"), I made my first one the recommended length and found it perfectly fine. I ended up giving that one to my mother. I made myself...
_____ I am just finishing my first clapotis and I am only 5'1. I stopped the straight section after 8 repeats and it is already approx 52" long and I still 3...
I used my Boye interchangeable needles: probably 30". I could have gotten by with 24" circs. I pretty much only use circular needles for knitting as I have...
... I always use circulars for everything anyway. The ones I used were about 30" or 36". Can't remember and don't feel like measuring them at the moment... <g>...
Hi group, I just completed a clapotis using Artyarns Supermerino, I am going to upload the pictures later. I made it for my bf aunt and now I want to make a...
I've used both - but I prefer circular. The main reason being = with straights, at the beginning and ending of each row, you have the full weight of your work...
I only use circulars and I'm 99% sure they were 24". It wasn't a problem, but I also dropped the stitches all the way down after I had taken them it off the...
Because of the weight of the scarf as it gets longer, it is better to knit the scarf on a circular needle. My straight needles are a pretty decoration in a...
... You could probably go up a needle size, should work out okay. You may have to knit a few extra straight sections if you like and it looks like it may not...
Wow! I'm up to the last full section on the increase section, and I am LOVING this pattern and LOVING the yarn! (Lorna's Laces Shepherd Worsted in Pacific...
Rebecca, I was worried about that myself when I made mine! You'll see once you get to the decrease section; you drop two stitches in the drop stitch row....
Do you mean that in row 8 of the straight section and the decrease section is where I drop the stitches? That makes sense. I am just making sure because I'd...
When you drop the stitches and remove the marker on the increase section...do you then drop the stitches for the new "first" marker on each row? I think...
Christine, I HAD to write and tell you that less than 30 minutes ago I finished wrapping my 2nd clapotis...for my mom...in lorna's lace lion & lamb...in...
... You mean drop the stitches and remove marker in the straight section? You don't drop the stitches at the marker on every row, just every time you come...
... No, I know I only drop the stitches on Row 8...what I meant was, the first time you get to Row 8 of the straight section, it says to remove the first...
