when you got a poncho making monkey on your back

You remember this poncho?  The one I was going to have done in time for the trip to Arkansas, that I didn't finish in time, but it turned out ok because it wasn't cold enough to need it?

I got it blocked and seamed just in time for Thanksgiving. 

Last February when I posted about this poncho I recieved many questions about it.  I know lots of you have since knit one up yourselves.  Lets face it, a poncho looks good on everyone, is easy to throw on, is not too hot to wear indoors, and is a snap to make.   Previously I blogged about the pattern here.  I predict many of you will want to make one for yourselves.  Thanks Mary Joan, for telling me about it in the first place.  

Here is a view from the side and the back too.

I used malabrigo rios yarn for this.  4 skeins.  I took the time to order 4 of the same dye lot.  Totally unnecessary.  If you pull down 4 skeins and they look close enough I would go with them.  It took about 3 weeks for the yarn to come in and if you are like me, when you got a poncho making monkey on your back, you ain't got time for that nonsense.

Beautiful. I love the asymmetrical look. That color looks great with denim, and looks great on you.

Lovely yarn, great poncho. It's fun to knit when things go together so nicely.
