Five days in poncho
I hate eyelash yarn. I HATE it. It is the first time that I used such a long-hair eyelash yarn. I am talking about Zoom, Barroco's novelty yarn.
Don't take it wrong, this yarn is very beautiful, has silky touch and shine. I also admit the effect is superb. But it was so difficult to knit with. I could not see where I knit!!
I had to use it two strands togather, for the edge of my poncho.
This is the poncho I mentioned on December 16th entry, casted on at that day. and I finished it yesterday:
The body is knitted by Berroco Furz, and the fringe is Zoom. As a result, I love this look of edging, and I love sooo much Furz. It is nyron blend yarn, super soft and confortable, and very easy to knit, literally it flied off the needles. Plus as the explanation of this kit, it "only takes a few nights to knit", it was true. The pattern is very easy, would be good project for TV watching, though I did't watch TV while knitting...
Wearing it, is smooth, warm, and light. I think the length is just right for me, I am very happy about it! Now I am wondering if I would get some more Furz yarn to knit matching hat with this...
