There was some question as to whether I should post this picture or not. I have gotten mixed reviews as this poncho project was in progress ….. I seem to remember the word ‘roadkill’ being used.
Well this little varmint made its debut yesterday and here is what I heard … ‘a cross between Earth Mother and Telluride’ ….. that doesn’t seem so bad ….
what do you think? can I wear this in public? will I be stared at or stoned? will people point and laugh or gasp with wonder?
and do you think I ought to fashion some sort of loose fitting sleeve thingamagigs with two well placed seams? The pattern called for increasing not just at the front and back but also at the sides. I am now thinking that when it’s worn, there is too much fabric and draping going on between the arms and the body. You can see from the picture that the fabric is kind of tucked under my arm rather than hanging loose, so if I did do the sleeve thing, it would look like that permantly which would mean that it would lose some of its ‘swing’. but then again, maybe not.
I really need some honest opinions, so opine away!
It really is quite cozy. It’s Divine!
