Last night I finished up with one skein of Big Kureyon. After knitting 5 full sets of increase rows, my Clapotis measured around 27 inches. I started the straight section. I only have 5 skeins, but I think this is going to give me a nice fluffy and quite-large-enough wrap. I am using US 11 needles for a fairly loose stitch so that I do not lose the drapey effect that makes a Clapotis so appealing.

Inventory of the 2007 knitting:

  • 6 pairs of socks
  • 18 scarves
  • 1 Clapotis, which does not count as a scarf in my humble opinion.
  • 1 shawl
  • 3 baby sweaters
  • 2 washcloths
  • 1 sweater for Rich
  • 6 sets of fingerless mitts
  • all the squares for a blanket – waiting to be stitched together sometime soon.

I am sure I forgot some stuff because I did not photograph everything. This is a satisfying list to me. Most of what I knit was given away – which feels just fine. This year I think I would like to knit for myself a bit more but I am also realistic. Knitting for others feels good and I like it.
