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.
I vote for the one on the left, #1. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteBoth are yummy.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I like the bright miter on side #2 and would wear it at the front.
Weather forecast is for hi of 65 and low of 35 overnite. Brrr

Marvelous colors and fotos!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI love #1, those colors are favorites of mine and I could just look down and admire them. A little Zen color moment.
ReplyDeleteI am casting my vote for #1.
ReplyDelete#1
ReplyDeleteWell, I would choose #1 because it's a lighter colour at the top which suits my own colours better.
ReplyDeleteIs 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.
ReplyDeleteI love both of them - can't lose whichever you choose for the front but my vote is for #2. I love the bright.
ReplyDeleteI'd put # 2 on the front. Lovely colours!
ReplyDeleteI love #1.
ReplyDelete#1 is my choice bcuase I prefer the brighter darker look.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about front and back, but what delicious richness of color. I just love it!
ReplyDeleteI love those colors and vote for #1. So beautiful.

I love both of them But nr 1 i think --So lovely ;-))
ReplyDeleteI know why you are having such a hard time deciding which to choose! They are both gorgeous! My favorite though is #1 for the front. Good Luck
ReplyDeleteThis is sooooooooooo making me want to drop my hook and pick up some needles. Wonderful and who doesn't love Noro yarn. Sweet pattern.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me what color this noro yarn is? I know they number their yarns...and is this kureyon?
