From Susan — I Must be into Simple!!

Filed under: Updates — lv2knit @ 4:57 pm

Lately, the simple things are my favorite to wear!  I do like knitting more complex projects, but I love the simpletons.

Case in point.  Surly came into town for a very quick visit.  I needed a really simple, dragalong project to have with me.  She was already planning on going to The Yarnery since she ordered yarn for pick up.  I found some BC Hamelton Tweed 1, color 002 for the simplest capelet ever, The Ponchetta by Elizabeth Smith.   It is a big rectangle with a cowl-like turtleneck.

My gauge was dead on with the suggested size 8, which is unheard of for me.  This quick project took a little over a week, but ended up being very cute and very wearable!!

I added the ribbed sections to the back and did a different 3-needle bind off.  I also lengthened it a tad.  I highly recommend the yarn and the pattern.  A+ from me!!

  5. That is lovely. I have made the Churchmouse poncho a number of times and that is one of my favorite things to wear. Simple yet warm.
