Daria's Poncho

Instead of showing you the socks that I completely forgot to take a picture of before I gave them away, I have this adorable little Finished Object for your delectation. I had made the pink part of this poncho for my little friend Daria 2 years ago. She had picked out the dark pink yarn, naturally an unbelievable soft baby alpaca, and I was quite proud of the design that I came up with. In a few words, I adored it. However, the charming girl declared it too short (in the grand tradition of children), so this week I set about lengthening the thing. If I may say so, now I adore it even more! The woman at my knitting store suggested adding embroidery to tie the new teal border to the rest of the garment, and I think that is really the most fabulous touch.
