Teensy, weensy, spider…NOT!

The pattern is called a
Clapotis, pronounced “Clapotee.” There’s actually a Clapotis knitalong to help guide you through the process (and it’s a long one) and give tips and ideas and lots of encouragement. I’ll be posting my WIP (work in progress) here as it — well — progresses!I learned the lingo. I have a “stash.” I’ve had to “frog” my work. I can pm, ssk, ktbl, ptbl, yo, and m1. It’s like another language, and I love it. I find I even like winding balls of yarn! Instead of dreading the monotony of garter stitch, I’ve decided to enjoy the process that lets me feel constructive yet allows me the luxury you might feel staring at a fire or watching waves washing up on the beach. It’s calming. It’s peaceful. It is rejuvinating.
And not a little bit time-consuming.
But now that I’m a little older (I turned 50!), I try to enjoy the moment. These are the good ol’ days.
