Tenth Clapotis = fini.

As much as I like the pattern, I’d still like to think that this will be my last one.

Pretty, huh?

While I was knitting it, I was thinking, “Man, I’d sure like to have one for myself out of this yarn.”

Could somebody lock me up, please?

This one was made with 2.5 hanks of Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport. The drape on it is perfect and lovely and it smells good, and it is my new BFF.

I WANT.

Enough of that.

Here’s Gus, from a photo shoot I had with him a few days ago. (He’s laying next to the destroyed dog bed.) Isn’t this called “Rembrandt Lighting”?

One last thing…this is so AWESOME. (Ten Clapotis doesn’t seem quite so crazy anymore).

A fast-topic-changing Friday! It should be in title caps! A Fast-Topic-Changing Friday!

First up, mini trampolines (aka trampettes, rebounders) were constantly bouncing into my field of vision, which made me want to give one a try.

	A trip to the sports store and $19.99 later, I had me one. It is so fun! It’s jogging and bouncing, without pressure on the joints. In fact, there are a whole host of benefits to be found on the very trustworthy Online, including happier lymphatic circulation. Who knew? I like the fact that I can place it directly in front of the tv and bounce to The People’s Court.
	Abe likes it, too. Next…!
	Could it be? Might I be knitting my TENTH Clapotis? Yes. It’s a shop/class sample for The Knitting Nest. I might hold the world’s record for Clapotis. If anyone knows of a knitter who has made more of these than me, please let me know. Next…!
	I got the coolest free gift. I happen to order all of my skincare from a certain website (I’ll tell ya if you really want to know), and they were having a “free cocktail ring with purchase of $1.4 million dollars” or so. I’m a sucker for free gifts. I’ve actually been looking for a ring like this! And it’s really metal, and it’s just my size. But it gets even better…
	Lip gloss! Next…!
	Here is proof that I feed my dogs things other than mini trampolines and Harry Potter scarves. Here they are enjoying a nice bowl of Froot Loops for dinner. Have a great weekend!
