Well, it has only taken me six months, but here is my Soysilk Clapotis finished at last! I am rather pleased with it. The fabric is very soft and drapey and no, I haven't blocked it, I don't think it needs it.
Now I can get on with Charlotte's Web! While I was taking photos, here is a picture of the semi solid pink laceweight I am intending to knit the Hanami stole in. What do you think? 
The top edge of the stole is beaded, and the designer suggests clear beads with a silver insert, as they will look like raindrops. That sounds good to me, but I also wonder if a clear pink with silver inserts might not be nice.
While browsing the internet this afternoon I seem to have bought two new books as well; Yarnplay and More Sensational Knitted Socks. The Devil finds shopping for idle hands, it appears. Thank goodness I will be gardening tomorrow!
