In honor of Valentine's Day and the Chinese New Year, I started on my contribution to the Red Scarf Project. After several false starts, I ended up doing what has become my most recent standby, a narrow Clapotis. I plan to give it a squared flat blocking so it won't have the wave effect, but the drop stitches are irresistible.
I'm glad that I got talked into adding Anne to the Lang mohair, I don't think it (the mohair) would hold up very well on its own. I haven't knit very much with mohair, just this past year have been using Kidsilk Haze and Wool in the Woods, and this is my least favorite so far, though it looks beautiful on the skein. And it's certainly red. This small piece will be fun, but it reinforces for me that red is definitely not my color. I don't even like looking at it that much. Funny, huh?
Happy Valentine's Day!
