Revisit a past F/O
Bring the fortune and life of a past finished project up to the present. Document the current state and use of an object you have knitted or crocheted, whether it is the hat your sister wears to school almost every day, or a pair of socks you wore until they were full of hole. Or maybe that jumper that your did just didn’t like that much...
One of the first things I knit after the 36 fun fur scarves was this pink poncho. It's a rectangle, and another piece that starts with a rectangle and tapers to a point. The 2 pieces are stitched together and the trim is crocheted on. It's Paton's Divine on big needles. It goes against every thing a knitter will say is cool...but I still like to wear it. It's WARM. It feels like I'm wearing a blanket. On a rainy day, I'll throw on a black knit dress and this poncho...and I'm warm.
I wore this back in February for Chan's Pink Parade. Only, I'm just now posting these photos. I still wanted to link back. There's so many reasons PINK still needs to cause us to remember those we've lost, those we love...and remember to get checked! 
And it seems that non-knitters still don't know how "un-cool" fun fur is. Especially the 5-8yo girls...they all want to sit on my lap during story time...or next to me and hold onto the "blanket". 
So...while it's not October...remember to schedule your DR's appointments. I'm due to see my DR in June.

Beautiful! Actually, this is Pampered Chef's Help Whip Cancer month with their pink products. Thanks for reminding me that I need to blog about that.
And by the way... fashionable is about what makes you happy. I think that poncho is pretty, and if it is cozy and warm, consider yourself practical and elegant and don't worry about anything else!
