Soft and Green
For my birthday back in October, my good friend Line gave me a beautiful hank of Sea Silk from Handmaiden in a gorgeaous green color way.
I searched for the right pattern to do this yarn justice and I think I found one. There is enough yarn to make a scarf (~400m) and I wanted a modern looking scarf because I find this yarn is a modern idea itself. I also wanted a pattern that would allow the yarn to show itself off, from it's softness and it's glossiness.
A modified version of Clapotis is the winner!
Some blocking will be required but so far I'm loving this pattern. I am making it narrower than the original Clapotis because of the amount of yarn I have and the guage of the yarn as well. I weighed the current amount knitted and the ball and I think I have enough yarn to make the scarf 45" long... we'll see how close I get to that.

With all this production in the past 2 weeks, I'm starting to suspect that you've thought the dogs and cat to knit...
Beautiful scarf.

you have officially sucked me in... I just bought a ton of wool. Now I really need you to teach me another stitch!
So beautiful - good choice on clapotis - I think it is the perfect pattern for showinng off something special.
Gosh, Tan, that pattern is perfect for the yarn - stunning! And I must say, I like the pics of Troy's hat in your Flickr sidebar - did you change the sizing at all or was it okay? Looks great on him!
I saw a comment you left on the London-Wul blog and thought I'd stop by and say hello.
I see you are from Riverview. I'm in Moncton. I'm also thinking about taking that spindle workshop at London-Wul but haven't quite decided - I would like to learn though.
Your scarf is beautiful, and I love the colour of yarn!
