(we had a little cool front this weekend
and I was able to wear it to worship on Sunday!)
that as soon as I finished it, I couldn't wait to jump right in to another project.
and discovered lots of free patterns at my knitting experience level.
I was so inspired! I have three new projects started!
I purchased two skeins of a variegated yarn that I've had my eye on.
(The normally low priced Red Heart yarn
was marked down even further to only $1.50 a skein!)
I am experimenting with rows of knitting
and rows of purling this time.
This will give the poncho a ribbed, textured look.
The only problem is I can't seem to keep up with my rows of each!
I'll learn a lot with this project. ;-)
I already have the finished poncho paired up in my mind
with a tan turtle neck, flair jeans, and brown boots. ;-)

I've also started working with a 100% cotton yarn
for the first time.

Knitting with three strands at a time
produces a very thick fabric.

I am using the popular Lily "Sugar 'n Cream" in Natural Ombre to make potholders.

You are so talented! I enjoy looking at your projects and often think "I wish I knew how to knit!" I'm sure it gives you great joy to be able to make your own sweaters, scarves, etc. You remind me of the Proverbs 31 woman. :)
I tried that all cotton yarn when Mrs, Nolen shared her pattern for her famous dish cloths. I should share that one. It's easy enough and fast enough for kids (although B has not completed one yet!).
