Finally found the time to update and share my Clapotis. She is made with Lion and Lamb Purple Iris on size 8 bamboos. Gauge is pretty much right on, and I added two extra repeats to the straight section. I can attest that I thoroughly enjoyed this pattern and I learned a lot. I will be making at least one more, but I doubt I will use Lion and Lamb again. It is unquestionably soft; almost to a fault. I am concerned as to how well it will hold up to wear. Even in the process of working up, there developed a heavy halo, and in places the twist has relaxed almost to the consistency of roving. I love it nonetheless.

Absolutely GORGEOUS! It looks as soft and light as a cloud. Wear it proudly.
