I am a 30's something yarn addicted knitter. I have found a TRUE love for knitting and all things yarn. I'm a self-proclaimed yarn snob with many, many favorites. My goal here is to write about knitting, talk about experiences, maybe a little bit of daily life too. I really hope to review some yarns and gadgets as well. When I taught myself to knit 2 years ago, the information I found on other blog's was so helpful. I hope to do the same for some other's out there too.

Clapotis
So I have caught the clapotis bug! I didn't quite understand the hub-bub about this thing in the begining, but I sure do now. I made a wide scarf/small wrap for my first one. Now I am making a skinny clapotis. I will post pictures later(need some motivation to get it photographed today). It is a fun and easy knit. It's a bit scary to drop stitches...I mean really, that's normally the no-no in knitting and it's not supposed to happen, but here...that's what you do! The first few times I caught myself saying Oh CraP! not again! I would flip my work over, start to pick up the dropped stitch and figure out what I did, then I would smile and laugh. My husband would look over and just shake his head as I sat there pulling out the rest of the stitches with a big smile on my face. Oh Clapotis...you have made me insane, but it sure is fun!
