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.

Absolutely beautiful Purplepixie, enjoy wearing it. You are so talented.

Very nice, PurplePixie.
I used to absolutely love ponchos when I was a kid. My mum made them for me.

Esmay

You are so gifted at knitting !
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 !

I think it's mostly crocheted Esmay but with some knitted parts. Very clever and very neat.

I want one but I've not advanced that far with crochet yet!

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

Beautiful have a fab time!

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

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

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.

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.

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?

Feelingmyage55 Sun 28-Apr-24 14:08:51

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

GrannyIvy Sun 28-Apr-24 14:07:14

It is really lovely hope you enjoy wearing it
