Delph update

I'm so close to finishing. I just have to finish the left sleeve and weave in the sleeve ends. I didn't get to work on Delph much while on vacation because I forgot my tapestry needle, but I did manage to knit a Clapotis during the week before Xmas. Alas, no pictures of the lovely Clap, but it was knit in wonderfully soft Artyarns Supermerino that I got from Hollis's store. The price tag seemed a bit high until I realized the skeins are HUGE, and handpainted superwash merino makes the perfect gift.

It's an absolutely gorgeous pattern, I love how the different cables intertwine with one another, I love the unique shaping and design elements, however it's not a sweater I'd knit for myself. Mostly because it wouldn't fit with my current body shape. BUt it's fabulous!

Hey Cookie,
This sweater rocks and I would definetely be into a KAL. I'll watch the blog to see when your notes come up. Do you know about the Sexy Knitters Club? They're doing a KAL on Grumoerina's Picovoli right now, but I think a few folks might be lured away by your sweater.
They can be found at http://sexyknittersclub.blogspot.com/

I would love to take part in a KAL for this sweater. I love the different cables and how they play into the really unique design elements. :)

The sweater looks great!

I was wondering if you had finishd that Clapotis. Glad to hear you made it. :)

Great job! I would be willing to try something like this in baby or toddler size!! I even have a yarn and recipient in mind.

Since I saw this sweater in the previous post, I think I've had dreams of it. This is THE most beautiful, unique sweater that I've seen. It makes me sad that you may never write the pattern! Agghh!! This may not mean anything to you, but I would be willing to pay a good deal for it, and probably other people would be too. It just MIGHT make it worth your time... (does that sound like bribery? Oh! Maybe it is.) =) Seriously though, I love this and would totally do a KAL if I could figure it out.

I, like so many others, have fallen in love with Delphine. If the most I'm going to get out of your brilliant head is advice and a KAL, I'll take it! :) I MUST make this sweater.

I'm in! When are you planning it? What yarn did you use? Approximately how many skeins does it take?

I am definately interested. Count me in.

Great stuff! Man, I'd love to try a KAL, but I don't think I'm good enough yet. I've only done one sweater (admittedly, with a lot of alterations off pattern, and much learning) and a lot of reading. I think a Delph requires more. But I love her designs.
