Time for a Clapotis update!
It's coming along quite nicely; it's reached the point where I have the stitch pattern memorized enough to mostly not need to look at the pattern page. So I can just keep knitting along and periodically dropping a stitch ladder the way Rook slides down the DA4 ladders XD (i.e why yes, I am knitting this during all the cutscenes while I play Veilguard! Getting plenty done that way!)

Here's a picture of the progress so far. It's fascinating to see how the vareigated colors change. I'm a little ways into section 3 of the instructions and just attached the second skein.
It's looking great! Always so exciting when you get to those first dropped stitch columns and see how they interact with the variegation :-D
I love seeing your progress and it's reminding me that I ought to get pictures of my Clapotis-in-progress too...maybe I can get to that today!
I have cast on a Clapotis for the 2024 Clapotisfest over at Knitty! Very nostalgic, since as far as I can remember my 2006 Clapotis (!) was the very first thing I logged on my Ravelry account and I have worn that scarf/shawl so much in the 18 (!) years since then. Looking forward to having another one out of this scrumptious red/pink/grey yarn from Sheep to Shawl! (a colorway that's out of stock now but one skein is 620 yd/4 oz so we'll just make as big a Clapotis as I can with that one skein...That's more yarn than I'd need for socks anyway, so the skein is better suited for a cute little shawl, I guess)
I'm following the tip in the updated '24 version of the pattern to purl (and knit on the other side) the column of stitches that will end up getting dropped and laddered down, so that's what will happen later with the 1-stitch column you see sticking up out of the background in several places. Easy to spot it that way without needing the stitch markers.
Any knitters out there that haven't ever knit a Clapotis (I assume there are some of you out there, even though twenty years ago it was like the most viral knitting pattern on the internet and we were all apparently knitting a Clap :-D), now is a great time to try it out! It's delightful in variegated yarns or gradients, and pretty easy to customize to various scarf/shawl sizes. You can see lots of examples at Clapotisfest Central! You can also win indie yarn prizes by joining in the fest and knitting a Clapotis in the next few months!
Just attached the 3rd skein. It looks like the first skein had more bright blue showing through than the second. I'm thankful the pattern and variegation made the color transition blend nicely.
Looking great! That's such an elegant colorway; is the yarn as cozy and soft as it looks too? :-D
I finished my clapotis knitting last night! No glamor photos yet, but i just wanted to express my thanks to you for sharing the pattern and inspiring me to improve my skills.
Yay, congratulations! You're ahead of me; I just got to the decrease rows though so the end is in sight. I'm glad you enjoyed the Clapotis!

You've inspired me to level up my knitting skills. The clapotis is starting to take shape.
Ahhhh, that's fantastic! I love your clapotis; it's going to look so pretty in those colors! Welcome to the Clapotisfest :-D
