This poncho is worked in three panels.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEpwIlHbXXRULgL4OlBCQqBNmIOrHQZz7DP7f5xqyzu9BQjDmJQmqY994Bj44CMKPlEFrct2Ugt_jEmWmCYc1tzj9h9JzjUq70kpAx5RztYV-6u7uc5IISTorbzZlfPLSVSXidjyg2v_c/s1600/indian+river.jpg2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEpwIlHbXXRULgL4OlBCQqBNmIOrHQZz7DP7f5xqyzu9BQjDmJQmqY994Bj44CMKPlEFrct2Ugt_jEmWmCYc1tzj9h9JzjUq70kpAx5RztYV-6u7uc5IISTorbzZlfPLSVSXidjyg2v_c/s320/indian+river.jpg2.jpg" width="237" /></a></div>1st panel: With US 13 needles and any variegated (preferably hand dyed yarn) Bulky<br />
CO-30 sts. wk. st.st. for 25" BO <br />
2nd panel: CO 50 sts. wk exactly the same as panel 1.<br />
3rd panel: CO 30 sts. rep. as panel 1.<br />
<br />
After you have finished all 3 panels you will now seam them up in the same order 1,2,3.<br />
Seaming instructions: <br />
Starting at bottom (pick an end) and on the RS sew panel 1 to panel 2 for 12" then leave 8" opening for armhole, then cont. sewing to the end of the panel. Rep. this with the other panel. Sewing panel 3 to panel 2.<br />
<br />
Now with the right side facing you, pick up 110 sts. across bottom portion which is the part where you sewed 12" tog. <br />
Work st.st. for rows 1-4<br />
Eyelet rows are worked throughout rows 5-7 except on the purl side do everything purl wise.<br />
Eyelet Row 5- Purl 1, p2tog, yo, *p4, p2tog, yo, rep. from * to end. <br />
Eyelet Row 6- K1, k2tog, yo, *k4, k2tog, yo, rep. from * to end.<br />
Eyelet Row 7- K 1, k2tog, yo, *k4, k2tog, yo, rep. from * to end.<br />
Row 8- Knit even. <br />
BO.<br />
<br />
Top (collar portion)<br />
With wrong side facing you, pick up 110 sts. and work approx. 8"-10" or about 30 rows. <br />
Next you are going to knit the eyelet row as you did for the bottom portion of the poncho. <br />
Knit one row even.<br />
BO<br />
Now you are going to make your fringes. (that's why you knitted the eyelet rows, the fringes will be knotted through each eyelet. I made my fringes longer on the bottom then the top, I also braided some of my fringes on the top (collar) area. Simple and easy and ready to wear.<br />
I made my fringes with 10 strands of yarn each.STRJKTKNITTINGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17809084471310339892noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881654736220211914.post-17082888806606323012010-03-09T11:14:00.000-08:002010-03-09T11:14:09.027-08:00Still Nothing Exciting To Be Said<b>So until I have something of value to offer in my craft I am speechless...</b>STRJKTKNITTINGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17809084471310339892noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881654736220211914.post-62763253191407126102010-02-01T13:29:00.000-08:002010-02-01T13:29:56.788-08:00I am still here...I have so many things that need to be posted onto my blog.

I had a complete work up, EKG, urine and full blood screening for who knows what. My blood pressure was high for the first time ever. I know those who know me find that hard to believe. That is that my blood pressure has never been high before, but it hasn't. Found out that I have a urinary tract infection which completely surprised me, no symptoms are present that I am aware of. Got med's for that. Took a bucket full of all my medications that I am currently on and she did some re-evaluating and took me off some of them and put me on some new ones. She is not the doctor who originally put me on these med's to begin with. It was my neurologist. I am canceling him out, I have realized there have been many errors made in my medication management that are and could of been if I continued to stay on them very detrimental to my life as a whole. I think, I know part of what I have been going through had to do with the enormous amounts of med's that were being mixed and combined inharmoniously throughout every vein in my body. No chance to even harmonize a simple ballet. I am sure of one thing, I am in the right medical hands from this moment on.</b></span><br />

You would think that I would be happy by now. I hate complaining and I am not in any way shape or form looking or seeking for your sympathy. I hate sympathy. I think it is pathetic. Especially when there are so many others out there in dyer straights. I know that there is hope for me. I feel so blah. I can't even think forward. I don't have a creative bone in my body and everything I attempt to create, fails miserably. I lost that UMP. I am sad that I feel so sad, I am unsure why. If I could just get my finger on where all this is going maybe I could appreciate the reasons for this stage in my life. I have every reason to feel blessed. The blessed list outweighs the doom feeling I have yet here I am feeling like a lost soul in a sea of total confusion. I will find my way, I always do.

I will post pictures of what I am making after I send it out, it's a secret. We aren't letting our swappettes know who is sending the gifts. I love secret swaps the best. I love the stalking part.

</div><span style="font-size: large;">Whatever you celebrate is irrelevant, the holidays are upon us whether your ready or not. I say the same thing every year, "I'm gonna get everything done on time this year". It never happens, but the thought is there. I have so many gifts to make for my friends and family. I have so many ideas swirling around my head. I know everyone is busy and some more then others but this is the time of year to kinda look back on what worked for you this year and what didn't. I like to review my life at this time each year. Not like a report card, but kinda like a self help reflection period. It is important to take time to feel, smell, touch, see and yes hear that little (BIG) voice in your head and listen for once. So just for the sake of the holiday, give yourself the gift of you, just you. Your thoughts, your hopes, your dreams, who knows they may be coming true right under your nose.</span>STRJKTKNITTINGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17809084471310339892noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7881654736220211914.post-81706180744367044692009-10-31T14:40:00.000-07:002009-10-31T14:42:58.557-07:00Meatloaf Hand<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Not my idea but I have to share this with you all before Halloween ends tonight at 12:00 midnight. </b></span><br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;">Just one last swap for this year. With the holidays upon us, were all really busy. So I thought we should do our “2nd Annual Ornament Swap”. Last years swap was wonderful and we all have beautiful handmade ornaments to place on our trees or around our homes. I will need at least 2 Mod’s to sign up to organize this swap. Hopefully this will be a big one. I hope all who are excited about the holidays no matter what they celebrate, sign up to spread the joy. Hugs, Gail </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sign ups will close next Friday Nov. 6.<br />
<br />
Partners will be assigned Saturday Nov 7.<br />
<br />
This will be a secret swap so any questions you may have for your partner, please pm me and I will forward the questions along.<br />
<br />
Packages need to be sent out no later than **Nov 30**<br />
***HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES FROM LAST YEAR'S SWAP:***<br />

</div><span style="font-size: large;"><b>I realize now why ADHD BOY wanted me to knit him clogs. He wanted to be able to slide across our floors like a ban gee. He couldn't wait for his clogs to dry for better slip and sliding power. This kid is hilarious. Not only does he slide across our floors but he does what I call trick sliding. He actually does twists and turns in the slide actions. This sounds crazy, but I must admit he is having a blast. Now to finish ADD BOY'S clogs. I'm sure he'll get in on the action when his are finished. </b></span>STRJKTKNITTINGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17809084471310339892noreply@blogger.com2
