Deutsch im Stricktagebuch vom 5. Juni 2011
Two of my nieces have nearly the same age so it’s
useful and stressless to make them similar knitting projects.

Inspecting my stash I saw many cotton leftovers from various projects, all less than a skein. And I had just frogged a shirt knitted by our late Aunt who was an avid knitter but lazy in sewing the pieces.
The marine blue yarn from the shirt was used as main color and the leftovers formed wavy stripes.
The stripes were inspired by the Lizard Ridge Pattern which I modified for my needs.

See Krissie’s Poncho which I made first. In Lena’s Poncho I finally used up all leftovers from leftovers.

My niece unpacked the poncho at her birthday and wore it during the whole day and the next days in kindergarten where she gathered compliments all the time, especially for the glittering parts ;-)
