I've done a bit of

I've done a bit of work on the poncho this weekend, in between laying around on the lounge sniffling pathetically ;)

It's coming out much better this time around! I've done double increases front and back (with yarnovers to make the holes) and invisible double increases at the shoulders, so that it is wider at the shoulders now. I stopped the shoulder increases after 2 inches or so.
It's rolling all over the place, in this picture I actually pinned it to her sweater so I could see it. As you can see, the neck is quite large. Em likes it like that, I think it's too big. I know the fashion is to have it big, so I shall live with it. The waste yarn is also a heavier weight than the yarn I'm using for the poncho, so it's probably stretched out a little. I'm tempted to do the i-cord now, just to see how it comes out. I started on 116 stitches, and am already up to over 200. I don't think it's going to be as quick a knit as I'd hoped!
Thankyou for all the lovely comments and emails about my socks! I wore them yesterday, and they're the best fitting socks I've made yet :)

Poncho fever has hit the web. Your poncho is looking good, and your Making Waves socks are great. I like the color.
