Clapotis

I couldn't believe how badly the yarn(sundara) got tangled around itself, but it was late and I decided sleep might help. So first thing in the a.m. I was back at it. I have to say things did look hopeful and I was eager to give it another try. So, it started off looking like it wasn't going to happen and that I would need to cut the yarn and start all over again. After a few attempts, I began to think maybe there was hope. An hour later I finally got it untangled. I think that the content of the silk and the merino made it difficult. It looks like the outter piece had caught onto the inner piece and they kept twisting around together until it was a tangled messed. I don't know how it got this way. When I wound the yarn on the swift I didn't have any problems or signs that something would go wrong. Having 500 yards didn't help. It was a close call and I have learned my lesson. Next time I am going to really pay attention when winding large amonts into cakes. Has this ever happen to you? Any good tips on winding yarn and keeping it tangle free I welcome:)

halfway through, not as pretty as the cake but

at least the tangles are gone

Here's where I am so far.

I am in section 3 and just dropped my first stitch,

sundara silk and merino from my sock club.

Chelette's clapotis, Malabrigo silk merino, in section 4I am really liking this pattern. I know we are late to the game. This pattern has been around for years. It is easy to knit and remember. I am already thinking about what yarn I will use next.

Recently I won the prize from Knit Fiber's contest Daisy Mum Check out her etsy shop. The prize was to pick one item from her shop. I chose the Knitted Fair Isle or Duplicate Stitch Peace Bracelet. It pretty cool and I am so happy. She also have some great patterns for sale, like pumpkins, hearts, soccer, knitted candy and a pink ribbon, and many more.

Go check her out and tell her I sent you.
