They said it couldn't be done. And they were right
Experienced knitters frowned worriedly, when I triumphantly told them about the SuperEasy Poncho Pattern I had found:
a big rectangle with a hole in it.
'Even I can do thís!' I bragged.
'Are you sure?' they asked. 'It doesn't even look like a poncho, now does it.'
They were right...
And they were right: because at the end of my pattern, I am the sad owner of an odd shaped piece of fabric, with a whole lot of holes and odd corners. The holes and corners are my own personal touches. But no matter how I twist and turn the thing, I can't see a poncho in it. Let alone make one of it.
So there goes my succesfull knitting career down the drain! It's a pity though. Because knitting is supposed to calm the nerves. And after all that stupid knitting I could really use something to calm me down.
Perhaps I should take up crocheting?
At least you gave it a good effort! I've never tried knitting...some people make it look so easy, but I know I'd have two left thumbs. 🙂
Congrats on being featured on Friendly Friday - I was already following you on Twitter and Facebook, now I've added Networked Blogs to that... 😉 Have a great weekend! 🙂

Too funny. At least the colors are good 🙂
That made me laugh! I'm afraid my experience with the relaxing art of knitting hasn't been relaxing at all! On a lighter note it's really pretty colors! Thanks for stopping by my site for VB members to remember!
Too funny - I suck at anything with a needle.. ha

Great post!! I have not attempted knitting, I'm pretty sure that would be the straw that broke the camels back!!! I think you should wear it with pride, just think of yourself as a sort of Lady Gaga, only better!! You could start a whole fashion trend!! Lol!! Thanks for the laugh, I always love to visit!!
I can knit... sort of. lol It definitely isn't as easy as some make it look! I have only been successful at scarves... I've made 1 blanket that took FOREVER!! haha

I tried the whole knitting thing to to try and relax and it sucked I got so frustrated I threw the needles off my deck. New follower from the blog would love to have you come by and do the same!
LOL. I've heard crocheting is easier than knitting. I was going to try to learn how to knit one year. I have about 4 inches of a scarf. 😉 So, at least you made it farther than I did! So, what if it doesn't look like a poncho. You finished it! Thanks for stopping by the S&R weekend hop again.
Definitely take up crocheting! I've got a few super simple patterns that even the novice can whip out in no time.
Wandered in via Subscriber Sunday!
Thanks everybody! I'll be sure to visit you all back. You can recognize me by my odd looking poncho!
It's a pity it didn't work as it's a beautiful olour!
Ha! What a funny post! I'm a knitter myself and I've had a few crazy disasters. Keep on keeping on! Thanks for sharing at My Flagstaff Home!

Crocheting is easier than knitting. I learned both at age 4, but I hardly ever knitted. My mother and grandmother were knitting whizzes. At 56, I started knitting again a couple of years ago, but I still love crochet more.
Yes,that's what I thought. The colour is lovely!
I totally agree. I like crocheting much better than knitting.
Thanks for sharing your less-than-successful project with the Let's Get Real party!
LOL! I tried crocheting, I still haven't finished my daughter's baby blanket I started while pregnant, she's 2.5 years old now. I am going to try knitting now, and my project will be WAY worse than this!
