Thank you all for the lovely comments on Aeolian. She’s still draped over the back of the lounge, where I can admire her whenever I glance over.
\nIn the afterglow, I decided on a reasonably easy project. I delved through the stash, trawled through Ravelry and went through a billion magazines, and finally decided on a Clapotis.
\nI did make a Clapotis once, a few years back, but I don’t wear it very often. It’s quite heavy, and I dyed the yarn myself. In really, really bright<\/a> colours. So at the Bendigo Wool Show last year, I bought some 4ply (fingering weight) Polwarth from Waratah Fibres, intending it for a Clapotis right from the minute I saw it.
\nSo I wound my yarn and off I went. I even went to the trouble of alternating skeins because of the handdyed yarn. And I’m pretty happy with the way it’s looking.

\nBut.
\nThere’s always a but, isn’t there?
\nIt’s a little further along now. I’ve used 58g of the yarn. I only have 150g. The short side is around 33cm (13″) and the long side is 56cm (22″). I think that if I keep going, I’m going to have a stumpy Clapotis. So now I can’t decide what to do. Admit it’s going to be too short and give it up? Or hope for the best and keep going?
\nIt’s going to be too short, isn’t it?
\nAnd a great deal of my knitting time is currently being sucked away, and will continue to do so for the next six months.
