Chocolate Raspberry and Mint


I am making another poncho on request, and ordered this yarn with this yummy dessert flavored description. Noro Kureyon, like the previous poncho. It looks all the same in the skein but comes out quite differently in the knitting. Soon I will have to decide which will serve as the front panel and which should be the back.
The easy fix would be to make it reversible, but having worn a poncho before, I know it is more comfortable not to be tugging at the neckline over and over again, so building in shaping at the shoulder can make wearing less of a stuggle.

Currently I am working on the side panels and cannot predict how they will turnout colorwise. This makes knitting an adventure!


Which would you prefer as the front? I'll let you know which choice is made by the recipient.

Both are yummy.
However, I like the bright miter on side #2 and would wear it at the front.

Marvelous colors and fotos!
I would prefer #2 because I love golden ang black colors.

I think #1... our fronts have more ups and downs than our backs, so it's good to have the more continuous blend of colors there, IMHO... beautiful colors, BTW!

I love #1, those colors are favorites of mine and I could just look down and admire them. A little Zen color moment.

#1

Well, I would choose #1 because it's a lighter colour at the top which suits my own colours better.
Is Chumley helping you with the knitting? My mom's cat used to help her, suddenly the yarn would end... Very mysterious :-)

I would choose #1 since it would add more color toward my face.
