Ponchette for Spring
The original pattern called for hemp yarn (DK weight) to knit this ponchette... but since I was trying to use up stash I figured Rowan Felted Tweed would make a lovely substitution as well. A friend of mine has been wanting a little poncho for a while now.. and I finally came across one that I actually like myself. Great use for stash yarn! The ponchette is modeled below by the lovely giftee...
Pattern: Hemp PonchetteMaterials: Less than 2 balls of Rowan Felted Tweed in Melody, Sz 7 needles.
Other than the little easy peasy knitting above, I've been working on the Sunrise Circle Jacket. Adding some minor modifications to the sleeves... but that will come in a later post.

Very cute! It looks great on the recipient. The felted tweed was a great choice.
Very pretty, I would have never thought of that yarn choice.
Wow, you're right. In general ponchos get me going in a non-stop derisive giggle but this is gorgeous. You are one of those bloggers who makes my "to-knit" list expand exponentially.
pretty! i love the lacy part. looking forward to hearing more about the sunrise circle jacket.
I love it! I am so tempted to move this to the top of my list--in fact, I am off to look at my stash now. Great job.
the poncho looks great! and I cant wait to see your jacket, Im still just on the left front.
I love the ponchette! The tweed yarn gives the lacey poncho a nice kick.
Very pretty! Good job!
Very nice. Less than two balls of RFT. Can't beat that. Great job!
