OTN - "on the needles"

I decided to try every week this year to add an "OTN" spot for the blog. This week I have only one thing on needles..yikes!! It's a take on a traditional poncho. The main reason I chose this pattern was it looked more wearable that a poncho. I keep trying to find things to make that Maddie will wear. Let's hope this works. If not I may open a esty shop & name it "Maddie's Rejects:)" Here's the link to the pattern I used, "Paint Me a Sweater" by Elena Nodel found here : http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/paint-me-a-sweater
So far it's been very simple to make, knit from the neck down. I knitted most of the body in the car on the way back from NC. The yarn I found at a local thrift store....all seven skeins. I just couldn't leave them there..they were screaming "take me!" I love finding bulk yarn that's affordable!!


A quick mention of a workshop called SQUAM. I keep reading about it thru other bloggers, so I thought I'd share it's link here. How cool! One day, I'd love to go.
