Clapotis
I started my Clapotis some days ago. It's the first time I follow a pattern made by someone else. But I really like the simplicity of this shawl. It wasn't that easy to figure out what all the abbreviations stand for. I like grafic charts much better. The yarn used is Mega Idena (produced in Italy for Almedahls). It's a nice effectful, shiny, 100% polyamid yarn that can be worked with neadles 4,5-10mm (7-15 US). The original pattern called for a silk/wool blend but my choice of yarn is 'cause I wanted a fancier evening wrap. It's a free pattern offered by Knitty that has among the nicest patterns online! I like the effect on the wrong side the best.
On craftster there's a knitalong going on just on this project. I've just secretly joined! Well I might post there when I'm done.

Wow.. I've never seen clapotis made in this yarn. Any chance of an update on how it's turning out? I'd love to see it - I may just have to make myself a copycat version!
I second that - let us know how the clapotis turns out in that yarn. Looks great so far.
