Hi all

I have just finished my festival poncho which I will wear to our music festival throughout the year. It’s made on 4mm knitting and crochet hook using DK yarn.
Thank you for looking.

Just beautiful! I do so wish I had the patience to knit or crochet...and the skill. As one of my aunties used to say, "Wish you well to wear it" Purplepixie.

Love it Purplepixie. Love how you've mixed the yarn. I do a lot of crochet so know why you are so pleased with your creation. Hope you get a lot of wear in it.

Well done - it's really lovely !
I have my stash of wool and the proposed project and then , I feel
a nervous wreck in case I drop a stitch !

Blimey! I’m very impressed. It looks amazing I bet you can’t wait to show it off! You are very talented.

It is really lovely hope you enjoy wearing it

A work of art. Enjoy wearing it. What about matching welly toppers to go with it if you have leftovers?

MissAdventure Sun 28-Apr-24 14:09:42

Wow, that is beautiful.

I'm envious - are you going to a festival to show it off?

Visgir1 Sun 28-Apr-24 18:20:53

Congratulations it's lovely, clever you.
I have a cream cotton lace Poncho that I wore to the IOW festival a few years ago, it's still going strong.
It always goes on holiday with me as its nice and perfect for hot climates to take the chill off.
What Festival are you attending? Hope you enjoy wearing it.

Super poncho, looks very cosy.
When I was a teenager (in the 1960s) I made a ponch and skirt of red and orange 'granny squares' with fringing. I have no idea what happened to them. I think it was a pattern in a magazine.

... poncho .... (not ponch)

Allsorts Sun 28-Apr-24 19:36:58

Like all your work this is lovely. You must knit so fast, where do you get all your patterns and wool.

Harris27 Sun 28-Apr-24 19:56:11

Beautiful have a fab time!

MissAdventure Sun 28-Apr-24 23:43:49

Oh, I do love a poncho!
I keep coming back to admire this one. smile

I’m looking for a poncho for my holidays, in case it gets cool in the evening - multicolour to go with everything

Thank you everyone. I have a little wool shop near to me and she has great wool and patterns. Also buy some wool from WoolWarehouse.
