Poncholina, just a hooded short poncho

I designed Poncholina out of necessity. I was looking for a short poncho with a hood. I could not find on Ravelry anything I liked. I wanted it to be not too long, so that I can move around. Tight enough to fit under a jacket and also pretty enough to be worn on its own. A big hood to not mess up my hair.

I started first with the adult version and then designed a children version. The girls wanted to have some fun fur for their Poncholina.

Check out my Ravelry store to pick up a pattern. Check out my Etsy shop to buy finished products

What's on my needles?

I am a huge Orphan Black fan and can't wait for the new season to start.I am currently working on a DNA sequence scarf. I am using Knit Picks Hawthorne kettle dyed yarn in colors Blackbird and Poseidon. I am working on Ravelry with a group of people to test the pattern.

It must be ready by April 1st. Enough time left to get a scarf finished for season 3.

Here's my progress.

Let me introduce myself!

Hi, my name is Andrea. I love to knit and knit and knit. It keeps me sane. Recently I started creating my own designs and offering my knitting patterns on Ravelry. Some of my knitting products are available for sale in my etsy shop.

I love to play with Kool Aid and dye my own yarn. White yarn never stays around very long.

I am a Stay at Home Mom of two little girls Isabella, 8 and Zoe, 6. They are my models and I love to knit for them.

My husband brought us all to race BMX so if I am not knitting I am with the family at the local track volunteering or riding my bike.

Thank you for stopping by.
