I had previously written about wanting to knit Clapotis, and almost two weeks ago, I actually finished! Details, if anyone cares:
Pattern: Clapotis from Knitty.com
Needles: US 8 (I used both straight needles and circular ones, but that's preference - I find circs to be easier to use for larger things)
Yarn: Noro Silk Garden #088 (discontinued, I got a great deal on Ebay), a little more than 7 balls
Size: It's about 21" x 60"
Last night was Stitch 'n Bitch, at my apartment. Small group this time -just me, Susan and Kim. I made guacamole, though, and it came out much better than when Tricia and I tried to make it last week. I also made a garlic olive oil dipping sauce for French bread - lots of chopped up garlic, fresh basil, salt and pepper, and of course plenty of olive oil. My parents make this a lot, particularly when they're cooking for other people, and we always descend like hawks. I have some left, and I'm looking forward to eating it tonight since it's had so much time to sit and get flavor. Yum.
A few links, to brighten up your Friday (definitely made my better, particularly since I still have the cold that will not go away):
Wine lovers can now take home unfinished bottles from restaurants It rarely happens that I go to a restaurant and fail to finish a bottle of wine. But it's good to know that I could take it home if I wanted to. :-D
You Knit What?? This was sent to me by Kathy last night, and it's pretty amusing. Sounds like these people are writing from Chicago and while I don't agree with all of their choices, most of them are dead on. I love the internet knitting community. :-)
