Clapotis has been coming along nicely; I've had a bunch of riding in a car recently, and it works very well for that.

Providence being Providence, it's gray and damp, and thus not the best for pictures, so I'm including an old one that shows the pattern more clearly.





I really like the way it's starting to roll on itself; I think this is going to look nice. I'm going to try to get it finished before my birthday; I got the yarn as a present last year, and a faster than usual turnaround to an object I can wear and enjoy would be good.

Among other things, Caleb and I ran errands today. I knew that some of the errands would be less than thrilling for me, so I packed accordingly.

Caleb was shocked to see me taking Clapotis out of my bag and leaving it in the car when we arrived at our destination.



I had, however, brought errand knitting (in the form of the sock) as well as car knitting.

Clapotis is looking wonderful; I really like the yarn and the colors. The sock is coming along well too.

Here's hoping that the unbloggable things (work and so on) calm down soon and I can get more of my languishing knitting done! They're busy enough I'm thinking about just buying a sweater for the summer.

It was a good weekend. I had my big yearly conference and presented. On the way to the conference, and in some of the down time, I got to work on Clapotis:



The colors are even more striking in real life.

The dropping stitches is a lot of fun, but it was hard to explain to others that it was a design element, not a mistake that I was trying to ignore.
