And here it is, in all it's glory and splender (or is it splendor...?):
I was too lazy to get out of my PJ's for the 'shoot', so you'll have to imagine the glamour. . .
I used Katia's Jamaica which is a 100% cotton yarn. It's increadibly soft and it knits like a dream. Good stuff!
By the way, although the whole knitting community has probably knit it (including my good friend Drea Renee) I never read the meaning of the word anywhere. It took some serious googling, but this is what it means (and it makes a lot of sence), it's french for: a similar wavy appearance or motion, eg in material, hair, etc. ...
If I ever achieve anything in my knitting 'carreer' I hope that one day I'll design a piece like Kate Gilbert did with Clapotis. Make a mark, leave a ripple in the water as it were.... (oh pleaeaease Sas, come off it, you twit!!)
ps
I also finished a present for a wee girl, but you'll have to wait a couple of weeks before I can show you, I finshed early for once...
