We had our first snowfall and it looks like it may be a stay-on-the-ground
event.
Way too early and I’m still hoping it will melt but who knows? This is
2020! Anyway, I did wear my Aran poncho the other day while I ran a few errands
and it was kind of fun. Had a couple of ladies shout out, where’d you get that?
And got thumbs ups! I did see others wearing the blanket-style plaid ones but
nothing like mine. Decided it needed a pocket (I hate carrying a purse) and
maybe a cardigan/hoodie to wear under to extend the wear-ability. Back at home,
I made a pocket, so simple, just a 5X5 inch stockinette patch and hand-stitched
it to the inside front point, attaching it between some convenient tuck ribs,
above the purl ridge of the hem, leaving the top open. Does the trick, holds a
couple of bucks, credit card, mask, keys…
Now, a jacket/hoodie to go under/with! I need a standard gauge project to offset the mid gauge transfers!

Splendid AND I like the addition of the pocket AND it'll be extra useful when you make a sweater w/hood to wear underneath! Good for you!
