Un poncho para mi!

 I didn't expect it but this poncho was so much fun to knit; I can understand if you don't quite believe me, though. But the whole adding stitches and changing colour is so compelling! :) I began during my stay in Iceland in August and finished last weekend, which isn't too bad, in my opinion. There are five different colours - all of them Evilla yarn except the royal blue, which is Kauni yarn. I used my Addi 3.5 mm dpns - the pattern calls for two 80 cm dpns but there is no way that you can fit 396 sts on an 80 cm needle! Take from me; it won't work! Anyway, I did the rim on my Addi 3.0 mm dpn and I think the result is lovely. I thought the neckline was on the loose side, so I crocheted two rounds of dc.

Quick Poncho

I've been wanting a poncho for some time, and a couple of weeks ago I came across some very cheap Natur Uld in a limited range of colours, though. The poncho was done in no time and even though the result reflects I didn't have much yarn to chose from, I like it. And it's perfect when driving.



What can I say... it's a lot easier to take somebody else's picture!
