I have been working on these granny squares for some time now.

Main color is a victorian rose with black for the background.

Yesterday I started putting this together.

I put it on the mannequin I have--- she can make any clothing

look real good.

When I put it on, I am not at all impressed with it.

Course I weigh more than this mannequin does, so maybe

that is the problem.

I am going to put more squares on the bottom part, so it will

be longer down the front /back and over the arms.

If I can't make it the way I want to, the worst can happen

is I take the shoulders apart and then make it into a afghan.

I think it is the victoria rose color that is bothering me.

The second picture in the album is more truer color on my

monitor.

Looks great !!! Thanks for sharing !!!

Sorry about that .

 

I just fixed the url in the opening post.

What happened was when I used the message board function to insert the url , it somehow dropped the www. part .

 

I think I will continue to finish this , and sell it as a poncho.

I just don't like the rose color on me, but it sure does look good

on the mannequin.

I have gloves on her because her fingers are not in that good of

shape in case you are wondering.

Great poncho!

that poncho is sweet....

I think I'd agree with you if it were mine... it's too short. More like a capelet than a poncho. Probably a good idea to add another row of squares and then sell it if you don't care for the rose color. Personally I think that color is pretty, but tastes sure do differ!

:)That is pretty.I like color but that is me! but it does look like a caplet add some more or put a nice scalloped trim on it.Making afghan would be very pretty tooo.

Pretty but more squares would help and then a pretty edge.

Hi all,

I have added another row of squares. And will add at least one more row.

It will be a full size poncho and not a capelet.

It IS a pretty color, and I do like it......but I don't like it on me.

It is not a good color for me.

I will get some more pictures posted of it soon.

 

I think I will just get this one finished and start one for me.

My colors so far, are going to be black, dark gray and light gray.

Not sure if I will add a 4 th color or not.

I haven't done anything yet for it, but just going over ideas in my head.

I really like the color combo but as someone who's gained weight through the years I know what you mean, while it seems everything looks good on the thin (like my daughter...) on me it's a different story! But it's nice work anyway and that's the important part.
