The FREE Clapotis Knit-Along at The Nest!!

This Ravelry sensation, which originally debuted in Knitty, fall 2004, is knit on the bias, and looks stunning when knit in variegated yarns. When you purchase your project supplies at The Nest, you can join us for FREE every Wednesday evening at 4:30pm as we work through this complicated, yet completely rewarding pattern (pattern and additional printed resources provided free of charge).

See photo below for the Clapotis that Diana's daughter, Abby, knit in Twisted Sisters Jazz (Grenadine colorway). This finished project can be seen (and petted, and modeled) in person at The Nest.
