Fall Poncho (Sept 7 2006 CPaD)

[librarycat513]

I was going through my calendar, saw the pattern and had to do it. I chose to do it in stripes instead of all one color, and I love how it turned out. It's quite warm and heavy too, perfect for the cooler weather up here in NY. Anywho, I thought I'd share.

 

Sorry about the cruddy photo. My digital camera is old (1.3 megapixel) and tends to take dark pictures, even with flash)

Wow! Just beautiful!

Ohhhh, I really like it...What pattern did it come from? I have been looking for a pretty mitered poncho pattern, but all the ones I find are kind of...ugly!! This is so beautiful, though, great job!

Wonderful poncho!

Looks comfy, very nice

[BarbaraJean]

I agree - it's perfect for fall!

Thank you all for the encouraging words. I worried so as I worked the pattern that it wouldn't fit, but as you can see it came out just fine. And it's so comfortable, a definite bonus considering working with Homespun can be such a chore.

The pattern is the Sept 7th pattern from the 2006 Crochet Pattern-a-Day Calendar. It calls for 4 skeins of Homespun in a single color, and as you can see I decided one color wasn't enough.

Since it was this year's calendar, it may be hard to find a copy online. I did get one hit for it at Abebooks, but the seller wants $32 for it!

 

Keep checking eBay to see if anyone puts up the calendar when they get the 2007 version.

That is a lovely peice of work!! I love your color picks there, and yes, I too find homespun to be a challenge to work with, I crochet wayyyyyyy too tight and am finding it a pain...lol...great job!

[Debbi-a1]

Wow, that's really great of you! That's one of the many reasons I love it at C'ville. I'm sure oklababydoll4u will love it.

Thanks everyone, for the kind words. I'm really loving the poncho so far. Wore it today, it was actually kind of coolish out, and it kept me good and warm. All I need is a light windbreaker under it and I'm all set.

Just love it!

Some day I'll make one...
