Kotan is finished! They call this a poncho, but to me it is more of a capelet. The pattern had a couple of erratas (despite the book including a couple of corrections for the pattern). It wasn't too difficult to interpret the pattern however. As much as I hate seaming, the side seams are fine by me and they turned out pretty well.
I think that the Arucania Atacama worked nicely with this pattern. The "crazy" variegation was tamed. I would recommend this yarn, it is very very soft. I notice that Elann.com has already sold out of several of the colors (including this one which was listed as Santiago). If you are looking to do a Clapotis this Spring, I think that it would well for that too.
For some reason, these colors say Paris to me. I don't know why. I am happy that it is finished and will be a perfect snuggle up for the plane and good for a cool day (hopefully without rain) when I don't want to wear a jacket.
