A Completed Urban Poncho
Voila!!! It is finished. Since my last post, I’ve been diligently trying to finish this poncho. Yesterday, I knew I was down to the last mile. I knit during a parents’ basketball tryouts meeting and then we were told to be back by 8p.m. for pickup. I drove “not so fast” to Panera to knit with my group for about an hour. After I got home, I decided to measure the poncho to see how far I needed to go. The poncho is supposed to be 54″ long, but when I measured, it was 59″. Oh, I guess I’m done. I didn’t rip it back because I thought it would look nice with my height. I seamed it during lunch today and had a co-worker-knitter snap a picture of me with my PDA.
Here’s a picture of my semi-blocked, unsewn poncho in natural sunlight. Although I didn’t alternate the yarns while knitting, I have grown the love the uniqueness of this project. The yarn is absolutely beautiful and made this project a joy to knit. I’ll wear it proudly on Saturday to the Briar Rose Open House.

It looks great! The dyelot changes aren’t distracting at all now that it is sewn together. Enjoy wearing it.

Love it! Now I might have to consider doing it myself. Wait, just stop me now! I already have too many things to do in the next few months.
