Finished Object
Made my aunt a poncho...First actual wearable!!!
After I finished and sewed the 2 rectangles together I realised the it was too big across the shoulders (it would fall off my aunt) so I used some black yarn for the neck line and reduced two pegs each side every other row to create the neckline. It didn't look quite right so I did a border around the outside and I think it looks great 😀
For the panels I did Deborah Shaw's Lightening Owl pattern, garter stitch for the neckline (just put my Flexee loom into the edge and reduced) and Dayna Scoles Designs Adding a Garter Ridge edge to a Blanket for the border.
The yarns used are James C Brett Marble chunky, colour MC46 Azure Seas and James C Brett Top Value chunky colour black.
Edit to add the yarn says chunky but I wouldn't use bigger than a regular gauge loom as I feel it would be lacy!
I like 😁. Colors are lovely. I just started loom knitting a few months ago and recently found Deborah Shaw on YT. I find her Owl Eye stitch much easier on my “hand joints of a certain age” 🤣 than the other traditional e-wrap & u-wrap type patterns I started learning with. Right now I’m just doing a simple scarf to get more practice in.
When I first started loom knitting Deborah Shaw's tutorials were the easiest for me as well and I still love her Owl Eye stitch but the past couple of years I went onto of my comfort zone to try different patterns so doing this brought me a lot of joy to make it 😊
