finally!

I've had this blog for quite some time, and have just not gotten around to doing anything worthy to post on it. Well, I am finally knitting up something that I've been wanting for a couple of years now: a clapotis! After a long search, I found a great yarn in a variegated blue that is a blend of wool and soy. It is nice and silky soft, and I think it will be perfect! This is really the first thing I've ever knitted in a quality yarn - well, except the scarf I made for ds from Fisherman's Wool. He was supposed to choose a color so that we could Kool-Aid dye it, but he keeps changing his mind. So, it sits uncolored. I made that one in 1x1 ribbing, so it's nice and thick and stretchy and reversible. I'll post pics of both soon. And, hey, maybe I'll even get my sewing corner cleaned up so that I have room to actually sew something!
