VIOLET & HER PONCHO...

With all the drifting snow & cold winds over the last few days a certain young lady has voiced a great concern that she may indeed freeze to death and that her whole body is hurting....along with the trauma that her heart may fall out. I have no idea where she gets these notions other than being fed a load of old tripe by her big brothers. I do suspect that she will be full of cold before the day is out.

So I was set to the task of whipping her up something warm and cosy....my track record with knitting garments isn't good so we could be heading into next winter before a cardi was even half done. Lets face it I struggle with a scarf.

Pondering this dilemma and sipping an essential cup of tea, staring into space waiting for some-sort of crafty inspiration my tea cosy caught my eye...a-ha i thought use that pattern to fashion a poncho of sorts.

A bit of rearranging of stitches, along with a treble or two, a young lady is most proud to be donning a super warm poncho with statuary pom poms, that under no circumstances were they to be any other colour than pink *rummages in wool stash and pulls forth a ball of dusty pink....sighs in relief*

Now my head is filled with grown up size ponchos and I may have finally found a use for those skeins of collinette that have been languishing in the bottom of the cupboard for an absolute age...
