The Ravelympics is here! I took this opportunity to take a break from sweater knitting and pop my shawl cherry with Clapotis (I know, I know, everyone and their grandma have done it already). I’m still doing the increases and will have to speed up a little if I want to do something else before the Ravelympics ends. I’m thinking about doing the WIP and Unwind events too.

My Clapotis is a complete Curly McCurly at this point but I think it will be fixed when I start dropping stitches. Wheeeeee.

Anyone else taking part?

My project on Ravelry

• Clapotis

I got tired of working on my Violet Beauregard so I started on the Sweet Pea Shawl which was also from Stitch ‘N Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker. I frogged it after completing only the first row of shells because I hated how the shells looked. They were really loose and loopy. I don’t think I’m cut out for crocheting shells. I just can’t seem to get them to look right. It’s really frustrating. Moreover, after starting on the shawl, I realised I’m not crazy about making shawls with worsted weight yarn. If I do decide to give the Sweet Pea Shawl another try, I think I’ll probably do it with Knit Picks’s Shine Sport.

Now what am I going to do with 8 balls of Knit Picks’s Shine Worsted in watermelon?
