New - sort of - project

Well, when I finished the first clapotis, I had a bunch of yarn leftover. So, I went through a number of possibilities to see what I could make with the yarn.

But, I always came back to the same thing - another clapotis. It's a nice, non-fussy, moderatly adaptable pattern that takes a minimum of thought.

So, after knitting lots of swatches and finally deciding on a colour pattern - I started it.
I originally wanted a simple scarf, and planned on only 4 increase sections, but, after adding on the sixth repeat of the increase rows, and looking over the pattern, I noticed that if I did one more set of the increase section, I'd be following the original pattern exactly - something I didn't do on the first clapotis.

I'm taking a break from it at the moment (since I've got 6 other knitting projects that are all clamouring for my attention) but when I did, I'd just started on the third section (the length repeats).

The picture is what it looked like just after I made the choice to add the final set of increases and the odd striping is the colours (Fushia, Green, Aqua, Royal blue and Pale blue) done in a fibonacci striping pattern.
Hopefully I'll take a better photo of it when it's longer.

Until later.
