Seems like it has been forever, since I have actually finished a project... And here it is:
I based this turtleneck/hood/poncho thingy off of this pattern from The Thrifty Knitter's blog. I used 2 skeins of Colinette Prism yarn in color-way #7 (on the yarn label it says color-way #7, but on their website the closest color I could find was the turquoise combo). I did make some changes to the pattern, I got the same gauge, but when i followed the pattern the neck opening was way too small. I think my yarn just didn't have the same amount of stretch, since it is a wool wrapped with cotton yarn and not a stretchier wool yarn. Instead of casting on 36 stitches I casted on 54 stitches. Then where you start to increase I ended up doing 8 sets of increases. It fits me well and is oh so cozy!
