Girl Who Knits

Clapotis begins...

I know, I wasn't supposed to start on anything new as I had a due date and everything but hey, I do what I want.  I did finish the frill of my second butterfly panel a week ago.  I want to start on the body but for the life of me I can't find the small needles I bought to thread the beads on so...I can't start yet.  I refuse to buy new needles as I know I have them somewhere.  I just need to buckle down and find them.  So, wanting to knit and sick of looking for the pesky thin needles and not ready to knit Paula sleeves, I decided to swatch my Koigu PPPM for Clapotis.  Problem is, my swatching turned into real knitting and I just haven't stopped.   I think I love it.  Here is a close up:

I love this yarn so much.  I know the Clapotis won't be as thick as if I used the recommended worsted weight yarn but I still think it works.  The pattern is easy and is very fun once you start dropping those stitches.   I am using US 7 needles and think it will be done in a week or so.  I guess that depends on if I find those bead needles.  Where could they be?
