Despite my rule about no more than 3 projects at a time, I caved in and started something new – and it’s not from the Handy Book of Patterns.

\nI finally started Em’s pink poncho. Mind you, it’s been quite warm around here of late, so it won’t see much wear – but better late than never \ud83d\ude42
\nI have only seven 50g balls of yarn, so I decided to do a narrow poncho, rather than a wide. After perusing the many, many poncho patterns out there, I’m winging it. I’ve cast on enough stitches to get it over her head, done a few rows of garter stitch, and now I’m going to do stockinette with increases only at the centre front and centre back, not four sets of increases as in a wide poncho. Then she can wear it with the straight side at the front, or the points at the front. I’m using yarn overs for increases, then I think I’ll use my lovely “Knitting On The Edge” book and do a lace edging.
\nLets hope it all works out the way I think it will!
\nTomorrow is another Dance Day – 12 hours in a crowded school hall. It’s that time of year *sigh*. So I shall take the poncho and hide in a corner with my knitting.
\nI’ll bet it doesn’t happen \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
