The original pattern called for hemp yarn (DK weight) to knit this ponchette... but since I was trying to use up stash I figured Rowan Felted Tweed would make a lovely substitution as well.

Although my st gauge was tighter than Eunny's, I figured the yarn should expand a little when I block it and then I'd be ok. It does snap easily if you tug a little harder than usual, but I didn't experience any yarn breakage while knitting. Oh yea, some of the pictures came out a bit fuzzy.

It's done, sewn in and blocked out. I made it in the 34" size too... since I want to experience the whole she-bang once... figure out what I can do better if I had the actual DK weight yarn.. and where I should pay particular attention to. Can you knit and purl? Then you can knit fairisle!
