Three Clapotii
How do you pluralize Clapotis?
The Purple One
Today I finished my third (and final) one. Stats: 5 1/2 skeins Koigu KPPM, size 5 needles. Finished size 74 X 17 inches.
The Green One
I made this in fall of 2005. Stats: Knitpicks Gossamer in Leprechaun. Don't remember how much I used or the needle size, but I doubled the yarn (it's a laceweight). Finished size: 72 X 15".
The Light Blue One
I made this in summer of 2005. Stats: Lorna's Laces Lion and Lamb (as called for in the pattern), 4 skeins. Size 8 needles. Finished size 49 X 18".
I really don't like the light blue one because it's too wide and short. I made the next two longer. I did not change the pattern at all, did not leave out any repeats, I made mine narrower by using smaller gauge yarns. The drape of the green one is wonderful and I was attempting to replicate it with the purple one.
I am so glad to be finished with this. I started right before Christmas, so it took me over a month, with a small dishcloth knitting break. I like the finished product, but it's a boring knit, particularly if you have made it twice before.

I think clapotii would be plural. But, what exactly is a clapotis? I know a clafouti is a French rustic tart. From your pix, they don't quite seem like apparel, yet also not some kind of kitchen cozy.
Vicki, I think the pattern says it's a French word for waves, because the drop stitches viewed from the back side (purl side) of the work have a wavy texture, ripply like wind over water.
Are those sleeves? What kind of garment is that?
