et voila!

the clapotis, she is finished!

ok, so i have to weave in ends.  and yes, that’s a bunch of crap on my couch (and floor!) still leftover from tp’s visit this past weekend.  but still, it’s finally done!  i think it turned out pretty well.  i made it narrower and shorter than the pattern called for because it’s for my mom who is a tiny (tiny!) woman (and cause i’m lazy and i can’t imagine having done the whole thing).  my dad is little too.  seriously, people wonder where i came from when they meet my parents.  it’s like they were immigrants from a blight-stricken country and i’m their strong, strapping, american child.  except they’re not.  and i’m not so sure i’m happy i just called myself ”strapping.”  anyway, i think my mom will like it as it’s some of her favorite colors and made out of her favorite yarn.  guess i’ll find out for sure when i make the trip home to asquared tomorrow.

though the reason for my visit home is not so wonderful (my mom’s back surgery) i’m still looking forward to seeing my parents and visiting home.  we’re going out to dinner tomorrow night here for a late celebration of my mom’s birthday and early celebration of mine.  it’s a new restaurant and sounds quite lovely.  

so no cooking this weekend but hopefully lots of knitting on my long-neglected “vintage” scarf.  or maybe i’ll just revel in the fact that i finished something larger than a hat…
