Did you know that it is actually pronounced clap-o-tee? Around here, we (=me) prefer to call it the clap-twaaaa and finish it off with a snooty french noise.

I am making this as a gift and I wanted to use some nice yarn, so i turned to my friends at Brooks Farm yarns. I picked up some of their stuff at Stitches West and could hardly leave the booth. It is just so nice to be surrounded by their yarn. I chose the ‘Four play’ 50/50 wool silk blend in the color ‘gypsy heart 5′ and i got right to work.

Clapotis started

i must admit that i am a little disappointed in the color. It really seemed much lighter in the photo online. But hey, i am giving it away so I am not going to worry about how much I like the color.

On an unrelated note, a good review by a real blogger of the knitpicks needles! i can’t wait to check out kate’s at knitting circle tomorrow.
