I think Clapotis has started a love hate with me and my knitting. I have been knitting but with no real purpose. I did start Clapotis over for the 3rd time, and I tell you what this Plain and Fancy Yarn most likely would not take another undo and redo, so this is it kids. It is at the half way mark and will go into hiding until the Knitting Olympics is over.

I have been working on getting used to DPN's, is it me or do I feel clumsy all of a sudden? I am thinking about trying out the 2 circular method, if I can get up to Shuttles by Friday. Here is the practice sock that of course will not be done by Friday and will wait as well.Dscn1892 It seems to be pooling, as I just learned what pooling is. But really isn't pooling a mathematical thing, won't every yarn pool with just the right pattern and such? Since this is practice I am not real worried.

After I ripped out Clapotis the 2nd time I needed a quick pick me up, a quick knit I could finish. I was in Knitty Cat perusing sock yarn to start some training and I found Noro Transitions yarn to make a quick scarf. I think the colorway is 13. The scarf is supposed to have a little angora at each end of the skein, out of my 2 skeins only one of the 4 ends had it. I do like the scarf it has already gotten good use.Dscn1893

I noticed that the opening ceremonies are Friday at noon Mountain time, does that mean cast on is then, or when they actually air the opening ceremonies on TV?
