Remember this poncho? I’ve finally got around to blocking and fringing it, and now it’s done!! Tadaaa…
Project details:
Pattern: My own, inspired by the Children’s Poncho (fair-isle hearts pattern from Knitty‘s Cheesylove).
Yarn: Under 3 balls of Elle DK Pure New Wool, in Regal Purple and Hot Pink.
Started July 2005, finished October 2005.
Here’s a close-up of the fair isle pattern (taken from Knitty’s Cheesylove) and the fringes.
The fringing wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Perhaps because I spaced out the fringes quite a bit, for two reasons. One, I didn’t want the fringes to be too heavy, and two, I didn’t want to kill myself doing the fringes 🙂 Anyway it worked quite well in the end. Now lets see if we can get a model shot some time. The weather here in Sydney is warming up a bit, now that it’s spring, but there’s still the occasional cold and windy days. So hopefully I can get Annette to pose for me.
