This is going to be my first completed project of 2018. Not counting wee elves and trees because they are bonus projects. Small things slipped in between the big stuff to keep life interesting. It's like reading a magazine article when you put your book down for a minute.
The color of this yarn is more accurate in the photo below. You can also see that it is a lace pattern.
Here is the pattern. I am adding a link to the Yarn Barn, our local yarn store in Lawrence if you want to get the materials to make your own - Yarn Barn, Lawrence Kansas. You can also get it on Ravelry if you just google Stone Point Poncho.
I am adding an extra repeat to the pattern as have most of the people in my knitting group who have made it. I wanted it just a bit longer. I feel certain it will NOT look like it does in the photo above on me. However I will be wearing my most supportive foundation garment in an effort to try and replicate the look to the best of my ability.
Each right side row is a bit different so it keeps you on your toes. But that is also what makes it interesting.
I have completed the back and am zipping along on the front. The border and one repeat of the lace pattern is finished. This is a great first "lace" project if you are new to knitting. My friend Joan, who is relatively new to knitting has already made two of these. They are great over a turtleneck for winter and also perfect for spring and fall.
P.S. Joyce and Leslie I predict you will both be interested in this project. Who wants to make the reservation for the cabin in the woods with a fireplace? I will bring supplies and meet you there.
If you make it clear supportive foundation garments are not required for the weekend at the cabin in the woods, I bet you'll get more takers. NOBODY likes to wear a push up bra in the woods. Nobody.

I say: Who needs push up undergarments in the cabin in the woods? Let the girls loose, if you get my drift.

Looks like a gorgeous poncho but I'm wondering who thought that model/shot was good for much more than a laugh. Now I know where the term 'quite a rack' originated.
Yes, longer definitely and I love the color.

We will have to take a photo of our class members in their ponchos, once they are all done. Have fun!

Very pretty. Support is a good thing, but when the boobs are higher than the armpits, well, that's just weird. Unless, of course, that what your got for...

This is beautiful. I love your color choice. I'm making exactly the same pattern, but in teal.
