I am notorious for having way more projects going at once than i can actually finish. This my secret project, i am sort of free handing. This one should take me a good while because of the size of the finished product (intended size anyway). Once i am farther along i will share more, to be honest it's still in birthing phase.
I feel like i post way less often than maybe i should. It seems to me that the feed numbers jump around like crazy. I've been thinking about making a craft blog of mostly just tutorials and walk through's of really cool projects. What sort of really cool projects you ask? Well... cool ones, lol and of course eco-friendly. Tell me what you all think.
Speaking of i actually have an idea for something i want to try today, i'll update later.
I almost forgot to add the bit about the Baby Clapotis. When i first started my clapotis i was way excited and got as far as starting the body and after the first drop i was disappointed. I didn't like the look of two strands in the drop (i had been knitting it with 2 strands help together). But i didn't want to waste all that work and frog the whole thing. So i went ahead and bound it off (yes adding the drops). I thought i could add icording to the two long ends and let my baby wear it. Set it on the back and criss cross the front over the tummy, allow the cording to continue around and tie in the back (which is a plus cause it will also be hidden). However the increase rows in the pattern aren't going to be enough for a child over say 15 to 18 months. i suggest continuing the increase rows an addition 6 times. Also you could measure your child, with their arms out wrist to wrist and continue until it's approximately that long.

well, that is sorta what I have been doing...lots of creative people out there and great tutorials. I can't get around to them all, so pls help!
I guess I am on Mars, because I had to look up what a CLAPOTIS was (is). And how do you pronounce it? It looks awfully complicated; how can you concentrate with a little one at hand? Hats off to you!
I taught her everything she knows ;)
Thanks so much Nancy!
and sammy... your so full of it >.<
