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!!
I love everything about how your poncho turned out! Adding it to my queue right now!

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.
