Clappy again

After the frenzied knitting and knitting-researching and knitting-shopping of the past few weeks, and something almost akin to knitting stress(!) I've settled into a nice relaxed comfortable pace. I feel like I'm hunkering down for the long haul. I've stocked up on provisions and I'm battening down the hatches and settling in.

Clappy and I have made up and are re-united again. I'm knitting from 2 skeins, switching every 2 rows, and it seems to have addressed the pooling. I'm enjoying the rhythm of striding back and forth along the rows. It feels cozy and warm and dependable. It's mostly mindless, but not boring, and I actually kind of like knowing it's going to take a while. It adds to that feeling of being all set for a bit.

I like having the photos of it all laid out, because it's hard to really see the whole thing when you're working on it. I'm a little over 1/3rd of the way through my yarn. I wasn't going to use all 3 skeins to begin with, but I think I might. I used almost 1/5th for the increases, which is a proportion that I've seen recommended, so it makes sense. There's not much I could do with a little left over.

I'm also in pretty good shape for Print O' The Waves. I'm also in for the long haul on that one. I feel pretty comfortable with how it's going to come out and what I need to do so, with all the decisions made, I can relax and enjoy this one too.

It's a little less mindless than the Clapotis, but it's a pretty easy pattern repeat once you've done it a few times and as long as I pay some attention and keep count, I haven't been getting into too much trouble, and it's pretty relaxing as well. Switching between the two projects is perfect!

Working from two yarns on clapotis is working out really well!
