What comes after ...

finishing the Clapotis?

I loved doing this shawl and love the Sheep Shop Yarn Company Sheep 3 that I used. Soft. And the color mix is perfect for me and the Fall season. But now I need some challenges. What!? Am I crazy? More of a challenge than the Poetry in Stitches cardigan? I have gone back to knitting the kit I bought a year ago. Bought the book just before that. Dieing to make it ... but alas it went into hibernation during the Holidays last year and I didn't get back to it until now. But I'm back. Honestly.I.am.

The blocking is complete on the Clapotis scarf.
All I did was soak it in Eucalan for 30 minutes andRhonda and the Clapotis then squeshed out the water, rolled in a towel to soak up more water. Then laid it out on the blocking board with straight pin wires running back & forth along both sides and stretched out to the width I wanted and pinned.
This is how it looks now. I love it!
my Clapotis

I brought the Felt-Tea Farm tea cozy into the Topsfield Fairgrounds today. And now I'm working behind the scenes on a few projects. Knitting and Felting. It's in my blood now.

And by the way, I got a haircut ...
Rhondaand many hairs got cut in the process ! I just might go even shorter next time.
