Haven't gotten to knit more than a round or two on Em's poncho today. Will try to get a photo of it tomorrow. Busy around here with a trip to the doctor and pharmacy for eye drops, plus older kids in and out all day. Took the tree down and started returning things to normal. Know that may sound hasty to some, but our family's celebrations were front-loaded this year and we've been at it for two weeks now - we were all ready to be done!
Was feeling a bit bummed and uncreative, but the mail brightened my afternoon.
My Clapotis unknitted - six hanks of Artyarns Supermerino. Isn't it pretty! So bright and warm on a dark and blustery winter afternoon.
Btw, sorry, but I had Clapotis misspelled Clapitois in my previous post about this. I had the pronunciation of Clap-i-twa rather than Clap-o-ti glued in my head no matter how many times I must have looked at it - will correct that.
Decided to wind it as a way to feel somewhat creative and my helper joined me. We got out some of the Angora out too to make it worthwhile (and even more colorful).
What a great pair of pictures of your little scamp! :) And the yarn - oh my!!

Great pics mom! My 15yr old son still likes to ball yarn for me.

Nice colors. I *REALLY* would like to knit claypotis too. Love the colors that you picked. I may have to start this one now and put off some other WIPs!

Hey, what color of Supermerino is that? I just got an ebay buy in yesterday's mail as well, color #111. I thought it would be more pinky and purpley, more SPRING-y, but when I opened the package I saw it was redder and browner than what I was expecting. Yours looks the same as mine! I guess I need to convince myself it is what I REALlY wanted. And yes, mine is also a not-yet-knitted Clapotis. I'm a-l-m-o-s-t done with my first Clapotis, using blue/black/gray/purple Noro Silk Garden. I just adore this pattern! P.S. Your helper is a real cutie-pie!
