All the Coat I'll Need

I don't care what any one else says--I think ponchos are classic. I have back issues of Vogue Knitting, some going back to twenty years, and there is almost always some sort of poncho design. I'm wearing mine as a layer over another sweater for this super mild winter. Mostly I'm walking a short distance to my car, driving to my destination, then a short walk into a building. I don't really need a heavy winter coat to sit in my car. This was made last spring with assorted colors of Noro Kureyon. There's some #146, #52, and I think, #57, a discontinued color I scored off of eBay. Lately I'm loving mixing the Noro colors. My largest Kureyon purchase was last summer at Stitches Midwest, when 30 balls at $6 each went home to be in the Lucky Penny stash. There's also another Noro stash for personal garment use. Also, there's the work in progress, a sweater for my mom in Kureyon #138, that she was expecting to be done this past Christmas. She told me to stop knitting dog sweaters to finish it. Like that's going to happen. It's actually about 2/3 of the way done. I'm showing some previously finished garments as work on the book continues. I've done the pet blanket, have knitted a bed that will be felted, and upsizing the Penny pattern that was in the Fall 2003 Knitty.
