Dogs Steal Yarn

wonderful! that clapotis did surely learn to fly...so what color Noro did she eat up? what needle size?? O Frabjous Clapotis!

Beautiful!
Now I wish that I had made mine full size.

Brilliant.

beautiful. how many skeins of silk garden did you end up using? i really like how it came out.

Clap(ping)otis! Clap(ping)otis!
I love you. I love Em.
Damn it. Now I need one.
(IX is the BEST.)

How beautiful and fun. I didn't want to make one before, and now I do. Bad. And I don't think there's a higher compliment, do you?

How cool is that! How did you know that I needed a little poetry to end my evening?

That is just awesome! Clapotis is definately on my list of stuff to make. :)

That, is freaking BEAUTIFUL! Suits you to a T.. wondering if I could pull off wearing it as you do.. Hmmm..

That last picture must be the single best knitting related picture EVER.

Delightful! I felt like I was watching the trailer for a wonderful movie that would make me want to move to NYC, learn to knit, and skip about town with a gorgeous scarf and a great friend. Thanks for a lovely post.

That was awesome! Quell Chic Clapotis!

wOweeEEEE.
What a post. Sigh.

Ahahahahaha! Now I know why you two were giggling like mad women today. LOVE it.

I'm rather speechless, and my Clapotis is cowering in the corner feeling small and inferior and wondering where it went wrong. This is just damn beautiful, and wins hands down The Best Knit Blog Post. Ever.

Natondi yo.

Silk Garden Clapotis AND Wallace Stevens. I am enchanted.

Absolutely fabulous! Fantastic pics and brilliant post!

You crack me up!

Thanks for brightening my Saturday morning. Reading your post over steamy coffee, piano being practiced in the background - a perfect moment!

That was a very creative and wonderful way to show the qualities of Clapotis. It's one of the best post I've seen anywhere. But now that I see how really cool she is I must make her now! Thanks for great inspiration.

Brilliant execution, m'dear. Simply inspired.

And props to Mindy for taking such awesome shots yesterday!

Very pretty! And great pictures. Looks like you love it!

Excellent post, lady. I now understand why you were doing a script for your it. ;) Clapotis is beautiful.

Playful poetry photographed: pensive, playing, prancing.

What an incredibly brilliant post! Wow.

Clapotis is wonderful.

Fan-bloody-tastic ! All of it !

Ha!!!!! Oh my god, brilliant!

I just LOVE you.

Monumental. Epic. Brilliant.

My daughter lives in NYC and I just sent her Clapotis.....she should be on the lookout for others of her kind!!! They are glorious!

Gorgeous!

Wow!!
Clapotis is wonderful! And so Noro!
I repeat the earlier questions: how many skeins of Silk Garden? Needle?

You better increase the 'contents' clause of your Homeowners Insurance to cover the value of this recent creation!

I think I saw a Fiesta plate...yours or the cafe's? It is another of my obsessions.

Just brilliant. And beautiful. I love that photo of you and Em -- you look like you're both about to take flight...

dang. now i'm just going to have a clapotis of my very own!

Dude.
You rock. That was silly ,and creative beyond words.

Bravo.

(and you two are so cute going down the street together!)

Wow- I love your Clapotis, your poems and your photos. (and your red coat too!) Keep the colours coming!
Which colorway is it?

Oh. My. Goodness. Lovely. Now I want to learn to knit AND have my hair permed...and dyed red.

ah...and i questioned why you hadn't posted in so long! fantastic. just fantastic.

You are BRILLIANT! I love your poem. My favorite picture is you two running down 14th street with clapotis wings. TOO FUNNY.

I'm with Candy. I'm going to grown out my hair, have it permed, and dye it red. Then I'm going to knit a clapotis just like yours and frolic with it down my small-town streets while wearing my Doc Martens and a red coat. Then, after they release me from the asylum, I'll do it all over again.

You paid wonderful homage to your beautiful clapotis (did that sound dirty?)

Anyhoo, it's spectacular! Now I have another project to add to my list (right after I finish my 15 UFOs).

Genius! I bow to your poetic and knitterly superiority :)

This is just to much fun! I love the finished Clapotis! Great job.

Brilliant - I'm casting on tonight - and it's midsummer her in NZ.

Beautiful Clapotis! Can you please tell me how many skeins of Silk Garden you used, and the needle size required? Thanks so much! Again, your Clapotis is absolutely beautiful!

AWESOME Cari! It looks great, and the pictures and words are perfect....Now I am slightly wishing I was making mine full size, instead of half size!

What a wonderful pair of Clapotis (Clapotises?) and a delightful way to show them off!

Brilliant! I was just reading another Blackbird parody last week ("13 Ways of Looking at a Blackberry") in the New Yorker, so this just completes the circle!

Would you allow me to use this "photo poem" in a class next spring? I was planning a poetry parody bit for the end of the semester, and this is just ideal!

BTW--Clapotis is lovely! I've got to make one of these.

What a fabulous post!! Oh & I love Clapotis!!! Beautiful colors!

Oh my goodness, you and Em, flying down the street. I am so happy right now reading this post.

And this:
My muffin is eaten.
My Clapotis is becrumbed.

ACCK! Hilarious. You are so creative and awesome. Can I go out with you? :)

I do not know which to prefer,
The beauty of you flying in your Clapotis
Or the beauty of your commenters,
Cheering and whistling
FOr just you.

Fabulous, Cari!

So much depends
upon

some dropped stitch
noro

mazed with yarn
ladders

beside the white

beside the white what??? That's as far as I got. (but did you get the noro/wheelbarrow rhyme?) Beautiful wrap, fantastic poetry! Yours, I mean.

Wow! I just happened upon your blog after googling "Clapotis blog" and yours was the first in my results list. What an awesome post! And I like the idea of using silk garden. Hmmmm....

This girl is cracking me up! I love the post, it brightens up the gloom and doom of finals week for me. I love your clapotis, I'm so impressed with you. My favorite verse is about the stitch markers. Good work!

best. post. ever.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Marvelous. I'm definitely out of the loop--Clapotis? How do I make one?

Best freaking post EVER!!!! Everyone is going to want to knit a Clapotis now. And you two are so darn cute!

P.S. I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurve your red coat. I want one now. Santa?

very fun post dude. :) can't wait to start knitting the 2 clapoti I have yarn for...

AWESOME!

Brilliant post, beautiful Clapotis. I have Silk Garden in the statsh, hmmm...

Alright, already, I'll start my Clapotis! I didn't realize how poetic it is! What was I waiting for!

LOVED this post. Genius. love, Kay

Your post (as well as your Clapotis) was a beautiful flash of art into my day - thank you!

Such a clever girl - that was lovely!

Have to agree with a previous poster - wasn't really into Clapotis until I saw yours. It's SG #84 isn't it? I'm in the process of knitting a scarf in that and actually had the thought of ripping it and starting over on a Clapotis - but maybe I'll just make another color. Beautiful, wonderful work.

"...Beside the white CHICKENS", of course!!!

How inspiring! Such cleverness.

So much depends on a red clapotis
covered with rain

I've gotta make me one NOW!

the colors you each chose were divine! so well matched :) how many balls DID you use, anyway? sorry it took me so long to find this entry, but it was worth the wait.

I love your poem... and your Clapotis! You've inspired me to need more time to knit!

My blog is named for a line in a Wallace Stevens poem, the Snowman. You rock my world! I love it when you do this goofy stuff. So cool!

I LOVE it! You have inspired me. How many skeins did you use and how big did you make it? It looks perfect to me and I want one the same size. :)

Oh. My. God. Best blog entry ever. My fingers are itching! I'm suffering from Clapotistartitis!
