Pink is the birthday girl’s fave color. I’m very excited to give it to her because it’s based on my new designs I’m launching on Etsy

The “poncho”

July 16, 2009 at 8:35 pm (Knitting, by Janie)

R-myponcho

After knitting those animal hats for my kids, I wanted to knit something for myself.  I started this project back in January and it took me close to 3 months to do.  Don’t get me wrong, the pattern was not R-myponch_backdifficult.  I just took my time.  I made a few rookie mistakes, but overall, I’m happy with this as it keeps me cozy on chilly mornings.

Oh, and thank you to many trusty fold up chair for modeling the poncho ;)

penguin_frontR-penguin_sideThe long awaited penguin that I had promised (back in the Fall)  my friend’s child…finally completed in early Spring.

This penguin is definitely better looking than “Hippy Hippo” (pattern from the same book).

I am in awe of the meticulous patience needed to achieve a piece like this. Found it on Tokyobling’s blog about an exhibition called Umi no Ue no Oshiro (A Castle On the Ocean ), 海の上のお城.
