The color is raspberry and it's moving along quite nicely.
This what the end result should look like.
I'm not sure about the pom-pom thingies across the bottom. They do serve a purpose--I think--to help weigh down the poncho, maybe, so it lays nicely? Whatcha think? Pom-poms or no pom-poms?
The pattern is in this book. Doesn't that cover wrap look lovely? I ordered this book online based solely on the amazing cover!
I haven't given up on the socks.
I mean, just look at those awesome socks! After the poncho is finished I'll give the book another whirl!
I'm not sure about the pom poms and I think you should make the socks, they'll keep your feet warm this winter when you're curled up in a chair reading your favorite book--or, better yet, when you're writing your book.
ReplyDeleteI think you should attempt the socks, if they dont turn out good, you can always send them to your nephews!! Im sure they would find good uses for them! : )
ReplyDeleteNay on the pom-poms. Definetly. Hit the socks when you're ready - they're not going anywhere. The poncho is a great color!

fringes and tassels on leather jackets and chaps used to serve a purpose back in the day, but I never heard of cowboys using dangling pom-pom thingies...
ReplyDeleteactually the socks would be great for your immediate family - i find nephews/nieces never really like to receive those types of gifts.
