First poncho!

Whee! This is my favorite project so far! It's supposed to be in the style of the Martha Stewart "Coming Home" poncho, but I hate Martha Stewart and all she represents, so we'll just call it the Lace Poncho.

I think somewhere along the line I screwed up the lace pattern, because the eyelets aren't even, but oh well. I love this garment. It's quite warm, for acrylic, and I think it's so pretty. A lighter yarn might have shown off the textured stitches, but I do so love purple. I think the piece looks store-bought. But then, I'm prejudiced.


METHOD:
From the LionBrand pattern; 4 skeins of HomeSpun on #10 needles. Piece was created in 4 triangular sections, then sewed together, which I did NOT enjoy, even though I tried to do it like the instructions said.

AND WHAT DID WE LEARN?
I really need to learn some proper finishing techniques. But hey, you can't see the mistakes, so as far as I'm concerned, they're not there. :)

(This is now, officially, the largest thing I've knitted. And it didn't take me a lifetime. Afghans aren't looking QUITE so frightening now.)
