The Masterpieces of Others

No matter what the material, the garment is only ever as good as the knitter, as they say. So it pleases me beyond description to show you how other knitters have taken my yarns and turned them into a chef d'oeuvre of their own. In this case, masterpieces with a single ingenious blueprint, Kate Gilbert's Clapotis. Yet it's astonishing what different colourways and that personal touch can do to give a piece its own individual flavour. Have a gander...

I've updated the Cashmere Gallery with this latest addition from the UK: Atropos' Clapotis --

The colourway she used was, of course, Atropos:

(More at the Cashmere Gallery.)

And as for this next, I think my mouth dropped open when Kristin from KS sent me these photos of her finished Clapotis in the merino. Don't she and her Clapotis look fabulous? I especially love the shawl finished off with that fetching brooch -- manifest elegance!

Here is a close-up of Kristin's Clapotis where the Briar Rose colourway is quite true to life. (Note: Although the merino has been discontinued, all the same colourways, including Briar Rose, are available in both the sportweight and aran weight cashmere.)

More lovely pictures at Spinning Athena.

And last, but certainly not least, I leave you with another glorious Briar Rose merino Clapotis by Eyeleen at Knitting By Eye, a blog that's always a visual treat!

Happy Knitting, Everyone!
