I would just like to say that if I rated all the items that I have knit with regards to usefulness, then I think the clapotis comes in on top, even above socks. I've been wearing it all the time around the house to keep my shoulders warm. And now I know why people wear shawls. It totally works. My whole body feels a bunch warmer with it on. Then of course, I like to wear it out, too. So it's getting it's worth of wear there as well.
And I need to catch up on some knitting pictures. I forgot to post these after the holidays. I made this set of fingerless mitts to go with the panta for my sister for Christmas. I finished them really quickly but let them languish for a month in need-to-seam-land. I just kind of winged the pattern and it truned out pretty well I think.

Hi, Bev! I used Berroco Foliage. It's a nice self striping blend of wool and acrylic. It's quite soft, but one of its drawbacks is that it's terrible to frog, just as bad as mohair.
