...seems that everyone else has. I finished this, lo, a long time ago for my grandmother's birthday. Still need to mail it out - I am so behind on the mailing side of things, as well as the blogging side of things. In Silk Garden 8, on US 8 Addi turbos, Clapotis from Knitty. I twisted all stitches beside the drop (knit-side and purl-side), along with doing mirrored decreases; these suggestions came from Needles&Hooks. I also purled the drop stitches on the right side instead of using markers; this is a common tip on the internets, and I forget who originated it. I did a swatch, mostly for my own amusement, since it is not the sort of thing that really needs one.

Very pretty! I purled the stitches, too, instead of placing the zillion sitchmarkers--it was the best tip!

How many skeins of silk garden did you use? =)
I have 4 just begging to be made into something and was wondering if I didn't do too many increase rows if it might be enough for a narrow version...

Silk Garden 8 is one of my favorite colorways ever! It makes such a gorgeous Clapotis. Somehow, the pattern makes the blues look even deeper than they already are. Gorgeous.
