Well, we just got back from OC and here I am knitting in the few minutes of sun we had before it started to pour again. But I was happy I cast on Bridget's clapotis down at the beach like I wanted. I even made it into the increase section.
The yarn Heather made is gorgeous! I love working with it because it knits up so nice. The colors totally express the weekend we had. After this picture was taken it started to rain. And the water from the sea and the sky was ice cold. So we did the only thing that made sense and went ice skating. :)
It wasn't a bad trip. I enjoyed being with my family and spending time with my sis. We actually had a lot of fun but the weather wasn't playing nice. As we checked out it became the perfect day and the sun was shining and I think I might have braved the water with the sun out. But we needed to get on the road and I'm glad we did 'cuz 50 was flooded out already from the storms that were heading our way.
Oh, on Friday morning after staying up all night knitting on the Laurene Shawl and feeling pretty good about the whole thing *insert Jaws music here* I left my knitting on the bed and the maid carelessly tossed it to the couch thus dropping a stitch which unraveled 26 rows...I cried and called my LYS and the owner helped calm me down...needless to say, I couldn't work on the shawl the rest of the trip...but doesn't what I have done, look nice?Happy crafting,

The Clapotis colors are pretty beachy. Sorry the weather didn't cooperate; that's always such a bummer. The shawl looks beautiful, what you have done so far. Terrible what the maid did!
I want to go to the beach! I love the colorway in the clappy!
Im so sorry the maid was careless with your creation. What a bummer when they dont respect what someone is making. So far so good, on what you have done and what is still there... great job!
awkkkk! Call the management of the hotel and ream them out! 26 rows????
((((((((((hugs))))))))))
The shawl looks fabulous against the light like that--you can really see the design! You'll have those 26 rows back on, soon enough. And the clapotis will do Bridget proud.
