Isn't that better?
I decided I needed to try something different with my Clapotis. Here it is, (on the left) alternating two rows with each skein. Doesn't this look better? I was worried about the yarn carried up on side, but this yarn is so soft and drapey, it blends right in.
I also took the opportunity to shore up my gauge a little, and dropped a needle size (now using US 6). I also dropped stitch markers in favor of purling the stitches that will later be dropped.
It does look very pretty so far!
ReplyDeleteRandom blogger popping in! I really love the alternating rows with each skein, and I think that the beads will look lovely scattered throughout the shawl.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great!!!!!I love the beads throughout too. It gives it that little bit of sparkle.
ReplyDeleteI think you've found the right solution. Just in case, here is a site with a lot of helpful tips about Clapotis, how to figure out when to start decreasing and the like: http://www.almostrandom.com/needlesnhooks/projects/project-notes-clapotis/
