Am I a child of the 70's? Yes, and no. I date back farther... really a child of the 60's, or 50's. That makes me want to revolt when I see styles from those decades. (Remember, Pattie? In early 2000's I said I would NEVER wear "clam diggers"... and I've eaten those words.)
What about ponchos? I've knitted several, and I love the ease of throwing them over my head... around the house. Somehow, they've made it back into my heart!
Imagine my surprise when I decided to adapt a shawl pattern into a poncho! It's not like there are too few poncho patterns, but I REALLLLLY loved this shawl pattern, and I REALLLLLLY don't need another shawl... so here's my result:
Pattern: Suki by Miriam Pike from Sherwood Knits
Yarn: Casbah Sock by Handmaiden Fine Yarn
Fingering / 4 ply, 80% Merino, 10% Cashmere, 10% Nylon,355 yards / 115 grams

I gave high ratings on Ravelry for both the pattern and yarn. This is going to be my Best Friend for...awhile!
P.S.: I bought the pattern alone through Ravelry.
P.P.S.: How many shawls do I have? I'm not even going there...
LOL here. Never say never, I guess. When a shawl becomes a poncho, is it a Pawl? Or is it a Shoncho? Or maybe a Shawloncho?
