h is for happy
I love to knit and crochet, am beginning to love weaving (under the tutelage of Peg at Expressive Weaving in Cornwall), and occasionally work quite obsessively while immersed in a project. But when it comes to the final tucking in of all the yarn ends or sewing the last seam or filling the pillow, I'm oddly lackadaisical (resistant?). So Iam very happy to report that last week I finished and sent off two projects: (1) my lovely daughter-in-law's birthday 
spring-weight poncho in Rowan summer tweed (the color is 'raffia' though it's more taupe and green than the photo shows) and (2) a no-particular-reason 
kimono-style sweater for which I found the cutest buttons at Yarn Central in Hopewell Junction. I designed the poncho with two panels in a left-and-right slightly twisting trellis lace and two panels in feather-and-fan, so it looks ok with any panel front, back or sideways, and giving the bottom edge a pleasant curve. Next I'll try it in a lighter yarn and see how that looks.
