An FO - Senryu is finished!
Finally – and here it is:
and here is the Baby Clapotis to go with it:
I did say that it may be a little creative with the colours – downright panicky would be closer to the truth – I ran out! With only about 5 rows to go. This was after I had desperately gathered together all the ends I’d cut off after weaving in and sewing up (that’s where the tiny bit of green on the end came from). Anyway, I didn’t have the heart to frog it, and decided that given that it’s for a 1 year old, it’s a) not going to stay looking pristine for long and b) not going to show if there’s a corner missing. Apart from that I was really pleased with the way the apparently diagonal colour changes came out. It was a fun knit – I’m not entirely sure I could be bothered with another one, but if the right yarn came along…
And Fi (and anyone else who wants it) – I promised it would be done and here it is – the pattern for Senryu.
Ooh – and I made quince jam today using Fi’s recipe – very nice, although still rather tart as the quinces weren’t really ripe (but since they’d fallen off the bush I thought I’d better use them). Still, I’m rather pleased that Ruth stuck her nose up at it – all the more for me

Those are sweet. Congrats on finishing them both! I like the colours you chose. What size is the baby Clapotis?Daisy () (link) - 16 October '05 - 23:51
That’s lovely! I’m very impressed with the little clapotis too. I hope the new owner appreciates them. Thank you very much for writing up the pattern… I have saved it and will look it over closely in the morning. And you’re better than me with the quinces… I still have a dozen on the kitchen table.Fi () (link) - 17 October '05 - 00:11
Well done with the pattern adaptation! What is Senryu or what does it mean? The little clapotis looks very cute and I don’t think that tiny missing bit will matter at all.Hazel () (link) - 17 October '05 - 12:46
Hi Hazel – Senryu is an adaptation of Haiku – senryu is another form of Japanese poetry, which generally refers to human foibles – it seemed appropriate! (Although I’m not sure that I would describe this cardigan as satirical).Anne - 17 October '05 - 15:43
