Clapotis

So I am finally knitting a Clapotis. I asked my sister what she wanted for her birthday (just before christmas) and she said she wanted a red scarf - a pashmina style one. She then said "I'd love for you to knit me one but I'm sure you don't have time". Well, she's right there, I have plenty to be knitting for myself, but how could I turn that down?! I immediately thought of Clapotis as it is sort of pashmina-like. So I sent her a link to the pattern and she really liked it. I asked around for suggestions for organic yarn that would work for this without costing the earth, and ended up with some Fleece Artist Organic Wool in a semi-solid red. It's going well! No way it will be finished for Christmas though...
