I'm using Misti Alpaca Chunky in colorway 9100, as I was told by my sister that the poncho must be lavender and it must be soft. I've tweaked this pattern, knitting two 11"x22" rectangles lengthwise for the poncho proper. I'll sew them together this week, add a single-crochet border around the neck using the last of the Misti, crochet the Fun Fur around the bottom, and voila! zee Purple People Eater Poncho!
The rest of my knitting news is pretty ho hum. Ho - I'm on the 16th repeat of Midwest Moonlight - and hum - I'm still on the second repeat of Hanging Garden and the Monster Mash socks have been shelved this week for the poncho. At least they're all still keeping my interest...even if I am contemplating casting on another lace project. Darn Lacevember, getting me all excited about lace. Heh.

Your niece will love the poncho. I'd love to see it with the fake fur on. Haven't been at my computer for a while and the catch up with all your doings has been fun. Love the 'flash your stash'.

Can't wait to see the purple people eater poncho when it's all fuzzy and done. It's going to be so soft, warm and perfectly 6-year old-ish! Can't wait to see turned heels on the Monster Mash socks.
oooh misti alpaca, that's like my favorite yarn ever. what a lucky girl!
She is going to love that purple people eater poncho.
Let me know how the turning of the heels go on monster mash :)
Lovely luscious lavender! You just reminded me that I need to get back to my lavender lace (Hanging Garden) to see how far I can get it during Lacevember. It's been slightly neglected because I am soooo in love with the Tapestry and the Lady Es, but I do need to give equal time don't i?
