It was very bling bling, and I am sure the price tag reflected that!<br />I am always trying to learn to make new, different things. I love, and try, to give handmade presents all the time now. I am working towards making my most ever handmade Christmas presents this year, I hope I can achieve this. <br />Happy poncho-ing to you!Cat from Raspberry Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15600066841446342922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-82484133598852131382012-09-29T23:23:42.416+10:002012-09-29T23:23:42.416+10:00Hi Kate.

But as I was getting near the end, I couldn't help thinking that it may not be as practical as she may like it to be, and that perhaps I would have been better to make her a poncho! Sounds just like you were describing! Great looking pattern and I can't wait to see how yours knits up.

That said, I do have a woollen poncho I bought in Byron Bay about eight years ago and I pretty much live in it during winter. It's ever so snuggly.

Am getting into shawls but like you say, you need a decent shawl pin to keep it from falling off every 5 minutes!!! I look after 18 three year olds at preschool and my shawl usually ends up being used as a doll's blanket! Have fun with your poncho!

And I am all about 'the make' not necessarily because i'm a picky shopper or wanting something to be just right, but because I love the sense of pride I feel when I were something I've knitted :) <br />I actually bought the yarn and pattern for a capelet a few months ago, and have yet to start, but i'm still excited for it nonetheless- its a capelet with ribbing around the neck/shoulders, a cabled body, and a wavy lace edging knit up in cotton.

I think it looks beautiful, and the color looks fantastic. I think cables make everything look nice and I can just see you snuggled up wearing it. It would have been perfect to wear it today with the horrible weather we have endured today. Hope you stay cosy warm and gets lots of knitting done!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02893692345113831018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-48039649486978206532012-09-28T17:51:23.676+10:002012-09-28T17:51:23.676+10:00Love the color and the cables!!!
