Easter Style

A repeat  performance by my orchid!

Today is a very important  day to Christians;

we celebrate not just the hope of what a Savior born into the world can do (Christmas)

but rather what the man/God Savior, Jesus Christ, did accomplish!

The Lord has risen!

He has risen indeed.

 I knit this small poncho to keep my shoulders warm during church.

I recently purchased one of these vintage machines that hooks up to my knitting machine --

 I drew a scaled version of the poncho I wanted,  entered my swatch information and then I knit!

Each row I knit advances the drawing so I know how many stitches to decrease and when!

Nifty, huh?!

I added a bit of a scalloped edge, knit away and voila, I have 2 halves

which seamed together while I watched a movie with recuperating husband. 

 Then I washed it and blocked it-and I will wear it for church today!


(Knit with 2 skeins of Deborah Norville's Apaca Dance worsted weight yarn)
