FO - "Martha's Best Friend" dog Poncho

[larudden]

After struggling with this pattern all afternoon, I finally finished this poncho that I've made for Etheline, my daughter Beth's pug. If you all knew my oldest daughter, you would understand why her pug MUST have a Martha poncho.

 

The pattern is from the LionBrand site and I must confess that I kinda winged it on the last two rows. It was giving me fits and so I made an executive decision which I think looks pret-ty nice.

 

Here is the poncho, modeled by Nora, my own little Puglet, who was not too happy providing the fashion show.

 

Oh, and can I say that the Homespun was HORRIBLE to crochet with? UGH!

 

 

 

Blessings,

That's really a great effort. A Martha poncho for a pug! It looks just like the original. And I hear you about the Homespun...

LOL! That's great! I made one for my grandmother's chihuahua a few years ago. The dog actually likes to wear it, but she's so short that even the smallest size is too long for her. Oh well, it was more of a joke anyway since my grandma made the same poncho for me and then sent me the leftover yarn. It's too bad I'm not a poncho person... It's just been sitting in the closet.

And your little one is ADORABLE! I just want to her!
