Another FO!
This week I finished my Clapotis (known as the Clap by those of us who don't parlez francais and find referring to our knitting as a term commonly reserved for an STD amusing). It's a gift for my sorority sister Shelley, I'll be seeing her this weekend :)Project specs:
Clapotis from Fall 2004 issue of Knitty
Yarn: 5 hanks of Atacama 100% Hand Dyed Alpaca, I bought it at the Labor Day clearance at Knit-A-Round for $2.40/hank (Oh how I love clearances at Knit-A-Round.)
Needles: Size 5 straight (aluminum)
Finished measurments: approx 14"w x 59" l
Started around 9/5, cast off 9/27, blocking finished on 9/28
If I were to do this project again, I'd probably use circulars, yarn that is not wool (the alpaca stuck together and made dropping columns a pain), and make it a tad longer.

I saw your post on Craftster and came over. Your clap looks great. I really love those fun pink colors.
Your sorority sis is going to love it!
Gorgeousness! I feel like such a slacker compared to you and Amy. Nice work and good to know about the alpaca content.
It's claptacular! Great job- you got a lot done since Tuesday.
Great job as usual Rach! You are amazing. Your sorority sis is going to love it. I wish I could have seen it in person :(
Beautiful!!!

Love that color. I'm still considering whether to make one for myself. I have like a million projects already.
Your clapotis is beautiful!!
I love your colors and you bought the yarn at a great price.
Enjoy and post a picture of you wearing your clap.
I can't wait to start mine.
I never thought I'd say this, but your Clap is goregous! ;)
It's beautiful! Lucky Shelley.
I just saw your post on Craftster too...your clapotis turned out so pretty. Even better when there's a deal on 100% alpaca. It must feel so soft.
