I took my poncho to the last craft group meeting I went to. It was admired, but the general consensus was that I should replace the narrow edging in natural wool with a wider edging in a dark colour. Right. There's no point in belonging to a group if you don't listen to what they say. So I spun some more wool and dyed it dark brown. The colour was very uneven, which was not my intention, but I used it anyway and worked three rows to make a wider border.
I did draw the line at tassels though. I don't like tassels. They soon look scruffy and tend to fall in the soup!
Lovely. Good point about tassels! It's lovely as it is.
ReplyDeleteI love this edging color, this is very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like the way dark brown finishes off the poncho... great suggestion from your group! I like tassels, but not on clothing. They do get in the way. However, I like the way they look hanging on my doorknobs!
ReplyDeleteAh, I'll suggest that to the group!
DeleteWell all I can suggest is that if you do decide on tassels that you don't eat soup!
ReplyDeleteLooks very nice!! :)
ReplyDeleteA nice border, I agree about the tassels!
ReplyDeleteThat dark brown edge looks wonderful. I really LIKE the effect of the uneven color - it somehow 'softens' the dark brown and ties all the colors of the poncho together nicely.
ReplyDeleteNice border, I agree with no tassels they would get in the way.

You are so funny about the tassels but I totally agree. This edging is lovely.
