Self portrait with newly finished Clapotis for my sister. Yarn is Southwest Trading Company Bamboo in Tequila, worked on US sz 4 needles.
Edited to add: I ended up using two full skeins of the SWTC Bamboo and just a bit of a third skein (so the total yardage for this was just over 500 yds). The final measurements (pre-washing, haven't washed it yet) are roughly 18"x52". This is only a smidge different than the original pattern (22"x55") and I can tell it will grow a bit after a wash and dry.
Edited after washing: Holy cow!! This yarn turned the water red the moment it hit the water! And I don't mean the water was sort of pink-tinged...it was RED. Yikes. Good to know, though. I'll be sure to include that on the note to my sister so she knows to not wash it with anything else.

Love the colors!
Hooray for finished Clapotis! : )
Lovely! I would love to know how many yards this took knitting on size 4 needles. I've done one on larger needles and have some sport weight yarn i'd like to knit on 4's in this pattern and want to make sure I have enough...
Hmmmm I must be a careful knitting slut, I have yet to catch the clap!! TeeHee, looking good as always, I've been really enjoying SPS myself.....

Love your Clap! I frogged mine, but still want to make one....
That looks lovely! I think I might give it a whirl with some Interlacements Handpainted that I picked up last year. I've been wondering what to do with it. As for the bleeding yarn, before you give it to her, try setting it with vinegar in a warm bath. See if that works :)
