finished clapotis!!!
it seems like it will be awhile until i can see some daylight, so here are some night photos of my silk garden lite clapotis:
the facts:
-4.5 balls of noro silk garden LITE , color 2013,(this is a lighter weight silk garden, with different colorways, and 137 yds per ball.
-size us6 inox circs.
-approx. 9 days of non-monogamous knitting
-mods: i added 2 or three repeats to the straight section, but otherwise followed the pattern
-verdict:super easy, super cute
this is off to live with my mom now, it's her birthday present, and now she knows. hi mom!

This is very pretty.
I really like the colorway of the Noro you choose.
Happy Knitting.
P.S. I like the name of your blog. :0)

beeeeeaaaautiful! I am very impressed. I am sure your mom will love it (and get many compliments and ooohs and awwws when she tells everyone you made it!)
I really dig the way the stripes are random, too. was this a result of the balls, or did you make sure to start at different points on the balls (once from the center, once from the outside) so it wouldn't be so "rigid"?

Oh, I love it! what gorgeous colors too! I have some SGLite in the stash, but not enough for this... am I the last knitter on earth who has not made a Clap? :P
Looks great, she will love it! (Now you need one too!)

i love those colors -- it reminds me of some kind of candy from my youth, but i'm not sure what. all the grapes and chocolates. great job!

Your clapotis is beautiful! I've been thinking about knitting another one and your version has me thinking that it would be a good idea.
