Little Girl's Boucle Poncho

Little Girl's Poncho

I was bored tonight and searched around for something to knit with 2 balls of Baby Boucle yarn. I found this pattern for a little girl's poncho on the Bernat.com website. I knit the size 2-4. I think there's actually enough yarn to make a baby sized one now. Here's a link to the pattern:





I'm not a big fan of knitting with Boucle yarn but this turned out really cute I think. Now.. to find someone to give it to..

Work in Progress

My next sweater will be a knitted jersey of the Montreal Canadiens. I don't have the logo graphed out yet... but here's what the jersey will look like:



I think I will try a v-neck on this one, to try to get it more authentic looking. My mom knit me one of these when I was 10, and even had #33 and Roy on the back of it, for my favorite goalie Patrick Roy. The real jerseys were several hundred dollars, so I never had a real one. I'll post the knitting graph when I'm finished graphing it out.

This version of Dora the Explorer got sold on eBay as well. I made a pink one before that and gave it to my neighbour's granddaughter, MJ. Unfortunately it came out a little small, so she didn't get to wear it very long before it was outgrown.



Team Canada Hockey Sweater
