I got it too!

Yes, I've caught it like many humble and noble knitters before!...

I've got Clapotis!
(*^-^*)

In fact, I've got a few centimetres up till now, but it's growing! (I told you that I'd cast on for a new project soon!... ^^)
I started last night and slowly progressing. Why slowly? Because this new cotton yarn of mine is a real pain in the backside to work with! >< It consists of about 12 very thin threads and they split like crazy, so I have to be very careful while operating the needles (After some more swatching I chose size 3 eventually). But I'm pleased with the result and I cannot wait till I get to the dropped stitch rows (still long way to go, especially because I ran out of markers so this project will have to wait till Monday when I go and buy more of them!).
I still have no idea how the dropped stitch rows are supposed to be knitted...


Now, off to my neglected Snow White shawl! ^^

  1. Oh, dropping those stitches is so much fun! It'll grow fast when you get to that point, for sure. It certainly did for me!
