The dress is a bit more revealing than one might want for a January wedding so there was a lot of talk about wraps and jackets and such. While the lady was trying to figure out if we could get the same style bridesmaid's bolero in white, I volunteered to just knit something. My offer was accepted!
We've decided that I'll make the famous Clapotis! I'm excited to jump on this long-gone bandwagon. I did a little research on Ravelry (there are 824 Clapotises, Clapotis', Clapotisi?? listed) to explore some yarn and size options. There are 3 yarns currently in the running: Tilli Tomas Disco Lights, SWTC Bamboo, ArtYarns Beaded Silk. But in two weeks NYGK is going on a yarn crawl and I may find something that I love even more (or hopefully get an awesome deal on one of these). :)
Must finish Sockapalooza 4 socks and hopefully (since I can't cast on until I purchase the yarn) finish my Wicked.

Yarny goodness for a wedding - very cool.
i like the beaded silk a lot. the disco lights is gorgeous too! but i think the sequins might make dropping the stitches difficult. i did start one clapotis in 100% silk by tilli tomas and it was coming out gorgeous. too bad i had already bought all of the sparkly stuff.
Excuse me...wedding dress for ERIN?!?! MDT, I need details please. Did some lad bravely ask Papa Triller for the hand of his youngest?
And. January wedding? That is soon. How long have I not been in the know?
your yarn choices are gorgeous.. I think any one of them would be wonderful..
I don't think I can make the yarn crawl.. do to finances.. sure sounds fun though!!
Yay a wedding!
Good luck on the clappy... I hope yours turns out better than mine..
I just stink at knitting lace so I know yours will look amazing!
