A cheesy introduction to - you guessed it - another version of Clapoitis, the mini version. This will be #4 made from my leftover Lady Eleanor silk Garden, colourway 279. I think this is a step in the right direction for Noro, having concentrated too heavily on the darks:
It could have been worse. Remember the song Getting to Know You, from the King and I? " Getting to know you, getting to know all about you... putting it my way but nicely, you are precisely, my clap-o-tis."
Or how about Oliver's Consider Yourself, "Nobody tries to be la-di-da and uppity, there's a clap-o-tis for all." This is what you get when you cross a musical theater lover with knitting.
Good thing I'm not a pre-school teacher, cause then it might be, "If you're happy and you know it clap your tee!"
I'm one of those people who actually enjoys a good pun, though many think 'good pun' is an oxymoron.
Nice way to use up the Noro leftovers.

Wouldn't that be "clap your tee"? I love the colorway. May have to look into some of that myself.

"I'm a little tee clap, short and stout"-yeah, OK, that's a stretch. The scarf looks great-love the soft colors.

Very nice! The colors work perfectly with that pattern. I figured out I've made four of the dratted things - no more "tis" for me.

Pretty! I'd like to make a scarf size version one of these days.

How about, "To be, or clap-o-tis? That is the question!"

At least you say it correctly. I have heard people pronounce it as clap-o-tis as in laryngitis. Makes is sound like some nasty STD nobody wants. Your scarf is lovely - I must finish mine one day - Noro Kureyon. TTFN.

I love the bad puns but not as much as I love this colorway!
