Here is the finished Poncho!

Here is the finished Poncho!

Em is happy with it, but I think it's a little big. That's okay, it'll last through a growth spurt. Mind you, we've been waiting for a growth spurt for years ;)
She's a tad on the small side for her age :)
I'm happy with it, I guess, but my stitching on of the lace edging is a little sloppy.
It's knit with Heirloom EasyCare 8ply, I used 6 and a half balls in total. I made it up as I went long, with help from Jill.
The edging is from Nicky Epstein's "Knitting On The Edge", and is called "Shark's Tooth" lace.
Here is a close up of the lace, please pay no attention to the sloppy stitching!

So now I've gone back to DH's sweater. It seems to be coming along better now, maybe I just needed the break!

The poncho came out great! Em looks great in it and I don't think it looks big at all. :)

Lovely! The lace edging gives it a very unique and finished look. If I ever make another poncho, I'll give it a lace edging too!

I love, love, love this poncho. And the decorative edge she picked out adds such a nice touch and makes it uniquely hers!
