Orange Clapotis Finished

I haven't posted a knitted project in years. Actually I haven't completed many projects at all. I think I finished a bag last year and maybe 3 shawls. I have been posting my finished objects over at Ravelry.

So since I'm determined to do better at blogging I'm posting this Clapotis that I finished. I made it for my loctician for Christmas. A loctician is a beautician, someone who specializes in hair locs. Anyway Cinzia my loctician loves the color orange. I had the perfect yarn, 4 skeins of Cascade 220 wool, so I knitted up this orange clappy for her. She loves it. This was the 4th Clapotis I've done. It is a simple project to knit though the straight section of knitting seems neverending.

Silk Clapotis

This makes my third Clapotis. I guess you can tell I love this pattern. I had finished this one awhile ago but am just now blocking it. And I'm blocking it because I'm going to give it to my mom this coming week when I see her. It's a belated Mother's Day gift. I haven't seen her in a month and I know she's expecting something handmade by me. I apologize for the pictures, I think my camera is on it's last leg.
