While some of you may be churning out masterpieces and others are out winning prizes, we here at PurlingSwine are winding down our summer with the Doritos® of Fiber — junk food knitting.
This is a project to do on the couch, in the dark while you are watching the Olympics. It isn’t challenging, nor is it mesmerizing — it is a quick fix. Its satisfaction comes from the speed, the mind numbing quality. It is empty calories — the ones you regret the most, yet your hand keeps going into the bag.
Heck, if you’re a junk food aficionado you are well aware of the oragami move of junk food consumption – the strategic funneling of the bag into your gaping maw so that you don’t miss a single crumb on the bottom.
If there were a fiber equivalent, this would be it ……
I haven’t named this beast yet — some have suggested RoadKill Poncho, others The Yedi …. any further suggestions? I have decided to use the remaining yarn towards the length rather than fringe – does something this fuzzy need fringe? would fringe be just the icing on the tacky cake? the cheez whiz on the Tostitos®?
what would Marcia do?

Chewie–like Chewbacka??? :) It looks pretty good.
Marcia Brady wouldn’t be caught dead in a fringeless poncho. What is a poncho without fringe? It is a hefty bag. If you are going to do it RIGHT, you HAVE to have fringe! How about a white fringe? If you don’t like it with the fringe your wifty cousin will take it! LOL I fondly remember my handknit purple poncho from the 70’s that Grammy made.
