I’ve been finishing projects left and right this week. One of them was the test knit poncho/capelet for brendadada on Ravelry. This is a great layering piece — very light but surprisingly warm

There’s a little story behind the name of this project. Originally, I bought the yarn at Sommerfuglen in Copenhagen. It’s apparently the yarn store the Danish queen shops in! Their website is the only place I’ve seen that lists colorway names for the Kunstgarn. The colorway I used is called “Glacier” which inspired the name for the project.

The pattern I was test knitting has been published! It’s called the Seaham Sheer Poncho by Brenda Burrell, for sale on Ravelry for £2.50. I was looking through Brenda’s other designs and found this nice shrug pattern - Palindrome Derivative Hug - and it’s free, too! I think I need to make something like this for the summer.

brendadada on Ravelry was looking for test knitters for her design, a cowl/poncho. I thought the design looked interesting and I had suitable yarn in my stash so I jumped at the opportunity. Only when I read the pattern did I realize it was another one with contiguous sleeves! :) Apparently I’m attracted to the method and it does indeed fit me nicely.

I’ve got a little ways to go still on my Glacial Poncho but the pattern should be available on Ravelry any day now.
