Project: Plaited Poncho
Pattern: Plaited Poncho by
Knitter's Design Team, Knitters Magazine Summer 2005
Yarn: Big
green ball of (probably) wool found in my stash, most likely came from eBay
Yardage: about 900
yards. The ball was wound off a big cone, weighs smidgen below 1lb.
Needles: Size 8
Cast on: April 25, 2012
Cast off: June 24, 2012
Cost: unknown
Notes: This is a top
down design, with increases built into the cables. The cables grow from 2x2 to
7x7. I mis-read one of the rows and messed up the spacing between cables. Then
I thought the vertical lines would be perfect to be used like belt loops, so I
made an i-cord to thread through them. Not sure if the intention is to hide the
mistake or to highlight it, but there it is, with one missed loop to boot. On
Daniella the mannequin it actually looks better as a skirt.
Happy Friday! Join the party on Andrea's blog, Tami's blog, and leave me a comment!

oooooh, I love it as a skirt! Please say you'll wear it as a skirt. You know, I'd never have known there was a boo boo row if you hadn't pointed it out. The pattern has enough going on that your eye wouldn't even catch it.
Beautiful work, as always.
Oh it is nice as a skirt...
I agree, wearing it as a skirt is the way to go! I love that stitch pattern; it's so pretty!
I love that as a skirt!
Oh hooray! You finished it! I love the effect of such heavy cabling, it has such a great texture. I also have to agree, it looks great as a skirt too! Wonderful work as always, Vivian!
YAY it looks lovely. I love it as a skirt too. I think that is how I would wear it.
I so love this one - and it totally works as a skirt too
It does look awesome as a skirt! Wow ... a nice bulky warm winter skirt! It's lovely!
I love this use of shadow cables! So cool! I agree, as a skirt this is awesome.
Agreed. It looks great as a skirt.
But I also see it as a poncho that Jackie O would wear... perhaps with a little Pill-box hat and small pocket book to match the i-cord. :-)
I love the i-cord touch - and didn't really see the issue until you pointed it out. Skirt or poncho - it's pretty cool. :)
I agree with you, it looks nice as a skirt. :-)
I vote for skirt...and you can always say that it was intended as one all along!! ;)
Fabulous! If you don't point out the flaws others won't see them. It absolutely looks fab as a skirt. Give little Rascal some pets from us.
Wow -- definitely a love affair btwn you and cables, and it seems mutual!
Hi Vivian - I was given a Lovely Blog award, and want to pass it on to you... Because you're awesome! :-)
