Begun early, this was an on again, off again project for about six weeks. The middle straight rows seemed never ending and I can safely say I'd probably not make it out of Malabrigo again. The yarn is wonderful, super squishy, a gorgeous color--and it sticks to itself like glue. Which would be great except for the fact that Clapotis has a drop stitch row every 12 rows throughout the entire piece.
Gypsy was very helpful in the supervising and appropriate application of cat fur to the Clapotis.
And finally, it was done. All the stitches dropped, the couple of ends woven in.
And while, no, Gypsy isn't a particularly large cat, you still get a sense of the size. It's almost 6' in length.
It then promptly went to work with me so it didn't become a full time cat bed. I'm wearing it a lot at work and expect to even during the summer. Such are the challenges of keeping a building cobbled together over the years cool during 90 degree temps.
I used 4.5 Skeins of Malabrigo Merino Worsted in Azul Profundo on size 8 (5mm) needles.
