Hey there. I thought I better blog now before the onslaught that's my (final) diploma exams begin next week. Couple of things I want to share here, so let's start off with an FO.

After I finished my first Clapotis (which I still need to send off), I embarked upon knitting myself one to use as a scarf. The malheur happened when I saw the finishing line. I ran out of yarn.

The Wollmeise was kind enough to send me yarn in order for me to finish this project...and now it's waiting here for the cooler weather, so that I can wear it. I didn't block this Clapotis out that much, so that it will retain its wave and so the scarf looks more like a ribbing where there are dropped stitches.
