October 22, 2004recycled
Here is the short side in the back which has been great for in the car and at my desk. I have a Point 5 poncho that I love but I don't like sitting on it. And here is the long side in the back. It could use a bit of blocking. The starting point of the seams could use some water,tug and pin but this one has already hit the road so it'll have to wait on the next wash for that. And I'm not lookin' back. The temp is really dropping around here so I'm trying to get some mileage out of it before it has to be parked as a result dropping temps. I think this is definitely the start of taking a lot of knits out of retirement. I wish I had done this before now and can't way to recycle the next piece. And Mindy I do find comfort in the fact that Jessica probably wouldn't wear this, lol! Posted by froggy at October 22, 2004 04:11 AMComments
What are you doing at this time??? Clever knitter ! Wow!!! What a great poncho!!! I love how you can wear it so many different ways! Very neat! ^_^ Posted by: Lana at October 22, 2004 05:32 AMOoh, that's look great on you. I love the colours. I'm yet to use Noro. Is it scratchy? That was my impression when I felt it - or what that something else? Mmm, I can't remember! Typical. Posted by: Adele at October 22, 2004 07:05 AMGreat poncho! So flattering--the style/drape and the stripes work beautifully. Ah, the satisfactions of recycling. Did you wash or steam the frogged Kureyon before knitting it again? It knits up again very well, judging from your pictures. Posted by: Nan at October 22, 2004 07:48 AMit looks great! very stylish and totally un-Jessica. :-) I agree that it's a great use of Kureyon, and very flattering. gorgeous! Posted by: mrspilkington at October 22, 2004 07:54 AMFabulous! and it so important to recycle what we can ;) Seeing your great poncho and so many other projects, I have got an itch (sorry for the pun) to knit with some Noro! Posted by: Shelby at October 22, 2004 08:26 AMRecycling is even better when you're recycling NORO! Such a smartie! I love it. Good Idea. Posted by: Heather at October 22, 2004 08:30 AMYou are a great recycle girl! I love the poncho. I keep saying that I'd love to make one...I just havan't done it yet. The colors are very fall like. Perfect timimg! Posted by: Eilene at October 22, 2004 08:52 AMThe poncho looks great. As for your leftover yarn...Stephanie at "And She Knits, Too" has a pattern for a silk garden beanie that I've done in kureyon. I've made several out of both, and will probably make more, as everyone who sees them asks for one. http://acunningplan.typepad.com/andsheknitstoo/patterns/silk_garden_beanie.html Way to go and use your noggin! Posted by: Sarah at October 22, 2004 09:00 AMThe poncho looks great! You could make the bucket hat from Steph's site (http://acunningplan.typepad.com/andsheknitstoo/patterns/silk_garden_beanie.html) with the leftovers! Posted by: Dani at October 22, 2004 09:06 AMI'm impressed with the way the different color lots mix together. Great overall shape too! Posted by: Melanie at October 22, 2004 09:11 AMJessica ain't got nothin' on you...awesome poncho, v. stylish. Posted by: mindy at October 22, 2004 09:17 AMBrava! You're an awesome recycler. Your poncho looks wonderful. Posted by: Lynette at October 22, 2004 09:33 AMLooks great. Maybe I'll wear my poncho for our meetup.... Posted by: Julia at October 22, 2004 09:35 AMIt looks great. I like it kind of sideways the most. I love how color 88 (I think) gets its own panel and then other colors are on the other side. It's more versatile than a usual poncho. I have a one-skein Kureyon hat pattern up if you want to make a hat. Posted by: Lauren at October 22, 2004 09:36 AMYAY! It looks fabulous! And I'm yoinking your "I recylce" button too. Hope you don't mind ;) Mim Posted by: Mimsical at October 22, 2004 10:43 AMThat is one FANTASTIC looking poncho! I love that poncho! Yeah - bucket hat - that would be cute... or a lacy scarf - related but a little different. ? I may snag the recycle button sometime in the near future.... Posted by: Alysia at October 22, 2004 12:01 PMVery, very cool. I like! :-) Posted by: Becky at October 22, 2004 12:17 PMFroggy, what a great way to recycle the yarn. I really like the last picture with it to the side--I think it is unique and very pretty that way... but of course it looks great no matter what. The colors are amazing. I hope you have a lovely weekend :) Posted by: Lolly Lauren at October 22, 2004 12:20 PMHi froggy! I'm going to sound like a broken record, but: great poncho! Using the noro is a good idea. I've been wanting to make one like that. There is a verion at Fuzzy Galore http://www.fuzzygalore.biz/patterns/spiky.shtml Thanks for the inspiration! I love the poncho. Recycling is a wonderful thing! Posted by: Phyl at October 22, 2004 05:01 PMThat's a lovely poncho, Froggy! Kudos to you for the inventive recycling. That's the beautiful thing about knitting... it can always be unravelled to become something else. ^_^ I love the poncho too. Lovely shape and colours. Posted by: Missy at October 22, 2004 06:26 PMWhat a cute poncho! And smart use of the previous yarn. It looks really great. Posted by: Jenny at October 23, 2004 06:46 AMWow! I was never a Noro fan until I saw your poncho. What a lovely recycling job! I'm also impressed with your rapidly decreasing on the sticks list. You've been knitting like crazy. Posted by: amy at October 23, 2004 03:45 PMhi . check your email ..i sent a few starter questions ... love the poncho ....email your # is possible .... Posted by: nasheikah at October 23, 2004 10:16 PMGreat poncho - I love recycling! Posted by: Anita at October 24, 2004 06:23 AMThat's a great poncho! I love the colours. Posted by: Laurin at October 24, 2004 04:18 PMGreat poncho - I love the colors in the Kuryeon. It looks so snuggly! Posted by: Jackie at October 25, 2004 07:36 AMI really like how you recycled the yarn. As someone who also sews I really appreciate that part of knitting. If something turns out not as you had hoped you can always tear it out and make something else. I really like how the poncho turned out (I also liked the bag though :)) Posted by: Alana at October 25, 2004 08:57 AMWhat a terrific use of recycled yarn! The poncho looks absolutely fabulous, darling! Really good work :o) And the colours are beautiful and so much more nicer as a poncho. Posted by: lyn at October 25, 2004 09:17 AMWow! what a great use of recycled yarn! The colors and everything are perfect for a fall project!!! Very nice! It reminds me slightly of a Mexican blanket. im not sure if they have a specific name, but they sure are beautiful! Great job! Posted by: erika at October 25, 2004 05:52 PMHi Froggy :) |
