Clapotis I Will Beat You Yet!

So here is where I am on my Clapotis.



This has been very challenging to me. I had to start over more times than I care to count. I think I am at the point where I just want to finish and do not really care if it's perfect or not. I am not sure if I will finish on time but I will try. I will be knitting tonight between flipping through the Olympics and American Idol and then tomorrow is our knitup. I should be able to get a lot done there if I can keep my yap shut. On Thursday Jerry and I are driving to East Lansing to see The Lion King so I will let Jerry drive there so I can knit and I will take my stuff in to work on before the show starts and during intermission. I am halfway through the 4th repeat of the straight section so I will have 8 more repeats of that, the 8 decrease section repeats and the final 11 rows. Hopefully I can finish knitting and get it blocking on Sunday - I can't help it if it doesn't dry fast enough for the torch going out can I??? Until next time ....

Good news...you don't have to block your Clapotis. In fact, a lot of people would recommend that you don't. So as long as you're snipping off the woven-in ends as the torch is extinguished, you're good.

What Beth said. Just stay focused and you'll be fine. Enjoy the Lion King - we loved it when we saw it in Detroit last year.
