I’ve got lots to share, today! I was busy this weekend…
First of all, I fringed the poncho. Here is what it looks like in it’s final state:
I think it turned out okay….The neck is really stretched out, though. But, all in all, not bad. Wearable. I think it would be really cute if there were beads on the fringe. Maybe if I am really bored one day I will do that.
Second, I finished another square of the Learn to Knit Afghan. I’m working on the Lace section and finished the first square:
As you can tell, I didn’t figure out the whole concept of lace until I was nearly finished. You actually WANT to make the holes.
Third, I knitted my mom a bucket hat in this gorgeous red color. I used GGH Samoa this time. I really love that yarn:
Mom, if you are reading this, let me know if you like this color…I still have to block it.

mon another great hat!! and the fringe is delightful
I actually prefer the wider neck line too. btw the baracuda’s at blatherskite are scary. Arguments on the net always seem so intense!
COMMENT:
the poncho looks lovely! well done. and you’re right, beading the fringe would look great but definitely a project for a lazy/bored afternoon

I love the color. I can’t wait to wear it. I wish I would have had it this past weekend when we went camping. I would have worn it on our walk, I got bit by misquotoes on top of my head.
