Clapotis in aran silk
Pictures of the completed Clapotis, knitted in Hipknits aran silk (400g):
(click on the images for larger versions - the smaller pictures don't do the colours justice)
The silk was custom-dyed as an intended copy of "Peony" (seen on annarella's blog), it came out lighter and I named it "Love Hearts" instead. It's so pretty and summery and is lovely to look at on these darker winter days. The silk was nice to knit with, as I mentioned already I wasn't sure if I'd have enough with 400g but I finished with a little yarn to spare. This is a full-size Clapotis as per the pattern. It was also quite a fast knit, I did get a lot of it done while I was on holiday over Christmas though. I also used my Knitz and Glitz Clapotis stitchmarker set which was just the ticket!

I so love that colour, excellant choice. Your finished Clapotis looks so amazing. Did you block it much?
Oh, that's so gorgeous!!
Beautiful and plenty big!
beautiful:) colours are so springlike aren't they?
That is really quite breathtaking. I love the sheen on the yarn - it really makes the colours shine out. And your knitting is so neat, as well.
Fabulous! Love the scarf WIPs too!
That looks great. The colors are wonderful and it looks very elegant.
My gosh, this is so absolutely beautiful! The colours are a real dream, so delicious and certainly perfect to cheer up these grey winter's days (though we're having something like spring here, no greyness at all ;)
Fantastic work, my friend, congratulations!
What a stunning colour. Everytime I see this knitted up I want one more, but yours is especially gorgeous.
I am possibly the only knitter in the land who hasn't fallen for the Clap charm but I must say yours looks stunning
The colour and design together are simply stunning!
Lovely, lovely, lovely!
It is beautiful and you've photographed it so well. It must be lovely to wear.
Love hearts is just right as a name. Your last clapper looked like a rose garden, this one reminds me of a sweet shop. It's stunning and the sheen on the yarn makes it really elegant.
