Okay, I guess I *will* do The Poncho
I *was* going to wait to do the Martha Stewart poncho, figuring it had gotten beyond when it would be useful, temperature-wise.
However, I just looked at the weather for the next few days: snow showers?! Saturday night and Sunday morning? Lows in the lower 30s?!
Then highs in the 50s for a couple days too. So I think I *will* make that Martha Stewart poncho starting *tomorrow*!
I saw a lady in Michaels the other evening wearing her Martha poncho. Looked great! I asked her how long it had taken her, and she said eight hours. Others say it goes fast. So I think I'd better get cracking! I have the Lion Brand Homespun yarn (I'm going to use Blue Ridge, a dark grey blue with tan in it, although Bernat's Galaxy (Neptune colour) seems closer to the original--but Galaxy is a bit pricey, for what you get, aaaaand it has mohair and alpaca in it--I can't use animal fibers); I'm going to use the Lion Brand "Coming Home" poncho pattern (there are two other patterns out there, but this is the one I think I'll use)--I'm all set!
