Theo wanted some things knit.  She went to the yarn store in Lansing (ThreadBear FiberArts) and got some amazing Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sock in the Seaside colorway — greens and blues and whites and sand — which I made into a shawl for her (that still needs to be blocked), and she got a pattern for a pullover poncho.  She also got me enough Lion Brand Homespun to make it.

Three years ago. 

I made the shawl, no problem.  It’s pretty and heavy and will be awesome for her Michigan home.  The poncho, however, has been making me crazy.

I’ve never been a fan of Lion Brand yarns, and Homespun is the worst.  If she’d asked, I’d have told her not to get it.  She’s a good friend, though, so I sucked it up and I knit it, because I’d do damn near anything for a friend.  All the knitting on it is done; it wasn’t as terrible as I expected.  All I need to do is finish the i-cord trim on it, and I’m confused about it.  I need to take it to my knitting group and get someone to explain it to me while I do it.  It’s driving me crazy, and I want it done so she’ll have it for this fall and next spring.
