In looking it over, I think the twisted stitches would also make for a cool rib pattern - a nice wave in the fabric.

Maybe some of the varigated stuff from Southwest Trading...

Melanie]]> Thu, 25 Aug 2005 07:26:42 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=145733 I was thinking of that Alpaca and Silk but didn`t know how heavy it is. I don`t do well with very heavy things on my neck. The one I saw was in Bamboo and that was very cool!

Several of the Elann yarns would work nicely. Endless Summer Lara is sportweight, not worsted, but you might swatch with it and see how that looks. Marly would work well, so would the Mayfair. Have fun with this!]]> Wed, 24 Aug 2005 17:15:08 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=145733

I saw a few solid color Clapotis and they look great too. Imagine baby silk or ummmm alpaca. Or maybe something slinky.
As I said if you pick anything that has the least bit of fuzz even HW the stitches don`t really run. You have to poke them along.
Someone did it with yo instead of dropped stitches. The yo make a smaller space. But might be handy on a really fuzzy yarn.]]> Fri, 04 Mar 2005 09:56:57 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=145733 Fri, 04 Mar 2005 09:55:07 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=145733 Fri, 04 Mar 2005 09:41:46 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=145733 I think a silk ribbon would be to die for]]> Fri, 04 Mar 2005 07:40:51 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=145733 Fri, 04 Mar 2005 07:40:08 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=145733
Actually, I was fluent in French at one time, and from what I remember "le clapoti" (with clapotis, being the plural, bien sur) is a very particular word which doesn`t translate very well and means "lapping" or "rippling", as in le clapoti des vagues, "the lapping of the waves.

I could be wrong, but I thought it alluded to the sound more than anything - so I don`t know if it makes much sense in this context. I could be way off base.

Any French speakers out there that can give a better definition? (Pipe down, Eileen.) Darn, sorry it`s not prounounced "Clap Otis" which would just be funny as hell as a garment name.]]> Fri, 04 Mar 2005 06:56:44 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=145733 http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall04/PATTclapotis.html and there are paeans to it all over the knitting blogs. Just google it and prepare to waste a few hours looking at all the beautiful yarns people have used. I want one, but I think you need to do it in beautiful yarn to have the full glam effect so I`m waiting for Elann to have some variegated rayon or silk.

My first thought was that it`s a venereal disease.... but now I`m thinking it`s a kind of wrap.

Heeheeheeheeheehee

Sorry, I`m joking, really - I couldn`t resist with a name like that...
