Ponchos are pretty fabulous. I have one I knit before Iz was born (of course it’s in a box somewhere! argh!). Iz is totally experiencing poncho love right now. We found a really cute one at a consignment shop that she’s been wearing constantly, even in the rain, and the other day she asked me to make her another one! Who am I to refuse a request like that? Off we went to the fabric store and she picked this out, it’s the cutest farm print. On yellow. I think I’ll be making many, many more of these. I made this in a jiffy, less than an hour to cut and sew, and Iz was running around in it in no time.
This morning, she got to choose which poncho she wanted to wear. Picture this: Me holding up two ponchos, Iz lying on the bed, hands under her head, ankles crossed saying, “Mom, back up, more, back up more Mom. Ok, one step that way, can you turn the pink one around? Ok, I’ll wear the yellow one today. Good job Mommy.”
haha, she is too funny! i’ve missed out on so much since i saw her last
You and Iz are nothing alike e, y’know.
That fabric is really cute, she has good taste.
love how you described her picking which one… so funny!
O.k. I need to make one for me!! Did you cut it like a circle skirt, and add the hood?? I can’t see any seams.
