I am excited to have finished off another WIP and, although this one was not well aged or forgotten, it was there and unfinished in my pile of unfinished projects so I included it in my WIP showdown challenge.
The pattern is Boden by Nice and Knit and I knit it using Patons Classic Wool in a size L to accommodate my 2XL frame:
And, ta-da! Complete! (It is super difficult to do a selfie of yourself in a poncho!)
I really love this poncho and even though my attempts at modifications to bring the size L up to 2X didn’t quite work out as I had planned, I love the fit and especially how perfect it is to wear around the house when there is a chill in the air. One thing I didn’t consider was how much tighter my colourwork gauge would be when compared with my stockinette gauge – next time I do a project like this, I will be sure to use a larger needle for the colourwork so that there is a better match between the two.
My pattern page can be found here.
As always, please feel free to share with anyone who you think would enjoy this blog!
Yvonne, the project page link is missing
