It&#8217;s fun! It&#8217;s a bit wider than I typically make my fun scarves, but it should narrow up a bit from the weight of it when worn. Picture to follow.<br \/>\n<br \/>Started a poncho, as it is mandatory for everyone who knows how to knit or crochet in this country to be knitting a poncho. I would hate for the Poncho Police to show up and discover I&#8217;d only purchased yarn &#038; looked at patterns, nothing on the needles sir, can you give me a warning this time?  The obligatory poncho is two strands of yarn &#8211; a raspberry-browns-pinks mohair with fuchsia Brown Sheep wool. I am using a couple of freebie net patterns as inspiration, and making my own up as I go along. First major change was to knit back &#038; forth before joining in the round &#8211; I detest things tight on my neck, so hopefully a ribbed collar of sorts will give me the coverage, yet not restricting. It&#8217;s also a simple YO K2tog for one row, knit the second row, open lacey pattern. Increases every other row at the front point &#038; the back point. It will get interesting when it hits about wrist length, because I&#8217;m pondering putting slits in for my hands! We&#8217;ll see. Not time to worry about that!<br \/>\n<br \/>I have done nothing but knit &#038; do paper crafts &#8211; I cut out ghosts for Halloween cards &#038; leaves for decoration from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paper-source.com\">Paper Source <\/a> shopping spree yesterday at lunch. Actually, it wasn&#8217;t much of a spree, given how much I&#8217;ve blown in the same amount of time there on previous visits! But cutting out the details with my super sharp scissors eventually was too much for my right hand &#8211; I played the Evil Zuma until late last night, and I think I&#8217;m overexerting it.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, here&#8217;s a fun quiz &#8211; I was so intrigued to find out what yarn I&#8217;d be&#8230;&#8230; and then had to laugh.
