summer of 2007 is long gone, but reminders of that summer vacation are as close as a basket full of yarn. a very lucky chickadee flew to germany and iceland and returned with great appreciation for the reinheitsgebot, geothermal energy and a suitcase stuffed with european yarn. how is one expected to resist? especially this blue beauty.
lana grossa, an italian yarn favored by wool-wise germans, is responsible for this double fantasy. piccolo features billows of merino wool woven together with sparkly thread. early attempts to transform its pillowy plushness into a poncho lacked proper execution. after agonizing over what to try next, i decided a simple knit one, purl one scarf might just be the ticket. and i think this one is a show stopper.

I do like the look and color of that yarn. I've been wanting to make a poncho for the longest time but am still stuck on my baby hat.
