My second Easy Folded Poncho is complete and this time I added the cowl neckline. I like how the cowl turned out which is a good thing because while I was knitting 120 stitches for 8 " I had lots of doubts.
I wore it today while touring my neice around the North Bay -- Marin was where we started out when we first moved here and it was fun to go back and hike some of the old trails in the Marin Headlands.
Pattern: Easy Folded Poncho by Churchmouse Yarns and Teas
Yarn: Berroco Linsey (a cotton/linen blend). Love the way this feels but it does curl more on the edge then the Euroflax linen -- but it's soft and squishy and very warm.
Needles: 4.5mm
The fog finally lifted and we caught sight of the Golden Gate Bridge on our drive home. But the wind was strong and I was very glad of the cowl neck to keep me cozy.
I'm in danger of making a lot more of these ponchos simply because they are so easy and such a handy project to have on hand for all those times you just want some mindless knitting to occupy you.
It is possible that some Rowan Summer Tweed might be the next Easy folded poncho -- might be a gift, might not.
What are you all knitting these days?
