Lainie, how do you like your new poncho?

Thumbs up.  Everything that is good gets a “thumbs up.”  Lainie, how was your day?  Thumbs up.  Lainie, how’s your dinner?  Thumbs up.

Here’s the back:

The decreases are visible, but I don’t think they look too bad.

By the way, Lainie picked the color.  Orange is her favorite.  I love that about her.

Here’s with the hood on:

It’s snug, but I think that was the intent in the pattern.  The yarn is Feza Opera, purchased from my local yarn shop for half price = $3.00/skein.  Bargain!  And I knit it on size 11 needles, so it went really quick.  The pattern was from one of the small Vogue books.

Today is Cole’s 9th birthday!  Pictures to follow!
