Chickenlips Knitting

I just couldn't wait to carry out the elaborate plans for my Pontocho wrap that I discussed in the last couple of posts...mainly because, let's face it, it's really a poncho, and ponchos have a (totally undeserved, IMHO) bad rep. I'd hate to put all the effort into shopping around a design that deep down I don't think will fly. I guess that Hollywood photo shoot will have to wait until I design the right garment!

So even though I'm still knitting a solid color version of Pontocho, which looks cool now that I have about 6" done and the fan lace really shows up, I decided what the hell - it's ready for prime time. The pattern is now available for download on Ravelry, and also in my Etsy shop, for a paltry $5 which helps keep us in milk. Seriously - between TAD (Totally Awesome Daughter) and her best gf who lives with us 3 days out of the week (complicated - but not in a bad way) we go through about a gallon every 2 days! And we have a small fridge, so stocking up isn't an option. Was going to segue into my rant about never letting your husband pick out appliances, however that discussion needs to be tabled because I actually have to throw on my fabulous wrap now, and go down to 7-Eleven because there's not enough milk for breakfast.

See ya...
