I just finished knitting this light-weight "poncho" that I started about 5 months ago. I bought the yarn and pattern when we stopped in at the Mary Maxim store in Paris, Ontario, en route home from Niagars Falls - where we had gone for a Frankie Valli concert. So the project has a personal history - as do many knitting projects... (where I got the idea, the yarn, etc.)!
It's made of a lighter weight yarn than I normally use, so I'm not sure if it will keep me warm at home in winter. Our house is kept cool.
The poncho is made of two equal-sized panels, sewn together, leaving a neck opening on top.
Having tried it on, I realize that the back is a little shorter than the front. If I made another like it, I'd make the back panel about 3 inches longer than the front - to make them sit equally.
My next steps are to weave in the yarn ends and to "block" the poncho. I'm hunting for instructions on how to block synthetic yarn. I don't remember ever learning how.
I'd like to make the edges lie flatter.
