Not much knitting happened over the weekend, but the little that did convinced me that I love this pattern. Super easy, really plays up the silk yarn. I was cleaning our one bookshelf the other day and found my copy of Le Divorce. Oh, how I love this book! Perfect light read to make it through to the end of August. The movie is fantastique too! Well, so long as you understand that it is about grown-up people doing grown-up things.
French women are extraordinary. l’m thinking of writing a little book about them and their native habitat. All their customs and ceremonials. l mean, their scarves alone… an entire chapter. Knotted in front, one end down, other end thrown over the shoulder. Or looped around double and the ends tucked in. Or around the shoulder, over their coat like a shawl. Or tied in the back. l mean, châle, foulard, ècharpe. Just think of all the words they have for scarf. And in a language which is very sparse in vocabulary. ~Le Divorce
Well, speaking of French women and their scarves, how amazing is this Clapotis? I guess it was all over the knitting world in ’05 but I wasn’t knitting a lot then. What was I doing? Dodging hurricanes, of course.
Good night, Irene and Bonjour, Katia! You would look trés jolie in a Clapotis! Please go away. Je ne sais pas…

The yarn color is so lush and rich–very pretty in that pattern.

We must be on the computer at the same time!! I love the lacy look and you should do a top down sweater, it is soooo wonderful to not sew pieces 🙂
Haha! I think we are! I was just looking at your knitting nook. It’s awesome! Mine is just in a bin under the bed right now. At least it’s all together, right?
It is a very pretty blue…and many people still have the aftereffects of Irene here…Do you live on a boat?
I lived on a 35ft sailboat for years and years. We rode out many a hurricane on it!
It’s lovely! I love the color!
Beautiful! I love the color and the stitches!!
Nice to see some progress on your scarf; I think I’m going to have to work up one of my own with that pattern. Great photo by the way. Oh, and thanks for stopping by my yarn along post. 🙂 Blessings, ~Lisa
Oh, you should, Lisa! It is a super simple knit so is perfect for an edge of the seat movie or a nail biter of a football game or something else you cannot tear your eyes from hardly! I like the fact that it doesn’t have a front and back so looks good either way you wrap it round your neck too.
Love the color, Jen!
Whatever it is that you are making looks gorgeous! I love th color of the yarn. The book sounds interesting, I might have to check it out.
Thanks for commenting at my blog! Feel free to visit anytime. 🙂
