The Clapotis, she is done. 

With just a bit of knitting elbow to show for it.

I admit that I planned my outfit around this scarf today.  And that I wore it around the house last night, after sewing the ends in.

I love wearing handmade things.  Made by me or someone else - doesn't matter.  The other day we had a conversation on my vanpool about the difficulty of finding ready-to-wear clothing that actually fits properly.  We're all too wide, too short, too varied.  "It was better," I said from my perch in the front passenger seat, needles sticking in all directions from a pair of fingerless gloves in progress, "When everyone made their own clothes."  Silence from the van.

Then from the back, "So says the woman sitting up there knitting her own socks."

"Gloves."

"Whatever."

Whatever indeed.  I'll keep making my own things, thank you.  Once in a while for others, but this scarf is all for me.
