Throwback Thursday - when was the last time YOU knit a Clapotis

I was looking through my project page, and it was sort of neat to remember those past projects. So I've decided to start "Throwback Thursday" project style.

Who remembers the Clapotis ? I've knit it twice, and probably cast it on about 4 or 5 more times.

I really loved knitting this project. I remember the fear of dropping the stitches for the first time. I was Terrified that the entire project would completely unravel. Who drops stitches on Purpose!!!!!!!

I also love who received these projects. I gave my first Clapotis to my aunt Christine. My aunt Christine is the other knitter in the family. I remember watching her knit a Beautiful fisherman's sweater while we took a ferry over the Prince Edward Island, Canada.

I knit this project out of Bamboo cotton.

The next one I knit was for my sister Rebecca for her baby shower. For some reason, I do not have a picture of that shawl in my projects (WHAT!!!) But it is really beautiful. I'll find a pic sometimes for you. 

So, what are your #throwbackthursday projects? Why did you love working on it?

Okay, so in knitting news, the clapotis is coming along well. I clearly did something wrong in the set up rows, becuase when I dropped one of the stitches it came a little more unraveled than it should have, but no big, I can fix that in the end. It did not unravel completely. It is a wonderful project to knit and I am enjoying it. In theory, mindless knitting, but right now it is becoming reflective knitting. I could go into it, but read Zen and the art of knitting and you will understand.

In music news, I am so glad I found this on Youtube.



So I recently watched the first season of Gilmore Girls and I LOVE the episode where they go to the Bangles concert. This group is called the Saw Doctors (Should help Becca with here 101) Enjoy.

Okay, and just a bit of randomness. Now I am on a very tight budget now, so when I see a clearance table I am drawn to it. I am not opposed to buying something that might be a day or two past expiration (it is only me, I am not getting it for someone else) Not opposed to buying socks and underwear that might be factory seconds. Maybe even a random makeup color that I am only going to wear once or twice. But folks, there is a line that must be drawn when it comes to buying things that are clearanced and on major discount (and I saw it myself) Folks, please don't buy discounted condoms. If you are that desperate, go get the freebies at the doctors office. That is my public service announcement for today.
