Welcome to the wonderful world of bad puns and dreadful jokes that few understand. Most of my jokes I wear in the form of bizarre links of string that I call "garments". I don't mind if people laugh at me not with me
I'm an English expat constantly struggling to be understood in a different country. I work in the cut throat world trying to bring "YARRR" and "Ne'er-Do-Well" into regular conversation My swear word of choice is Stink Nugget. I'm a yarn snob.
So, for the benefit of those on the knitty board looking for my new found Kid Silk Haze sub, Tsuki from Artfibers, here is a photo of it And then... just a quick update on the clapotis - just started the decrease rows.  |

post a commentwhat a great subsitution!!! And your clapotis is coming along beautifully..what type of yarn are you using?
I actually TOTALLY splurged and am using the Lornas Lace Lion and Lamb as suggested for the Clapotis in Black Purl that I found "cheap" at http://knit2purl2.com/. What can I say... I had a raise at work and felt like treating myself :)
As for the substitution, I think it will work beautifully - it has 10% more silk (and 10% less mohair) so is slightly shinier, slightly less fuzzy... but I think this will make it's way into Marianne from the latest Rowan mag.
Awesome colorway!! One of the best I've seen. I'm glad you posted on the Clap thread or I would never have seen your blog and that would have been my loss.
Thanks Deb - I'm not terribly good at self promotion, I think I packed my own trumpet away a long time ago!
