The Knitting Fiend

 
My dear old granny
crochets beautiful blankets.
I wear them as capes.

 

Everything old is new again! I’m not sure this will keep your shoulders warm. It certainly won’t block the wind. Maybe it’s just a fashion statement?

Once again, this is from Adriafil

Stumble it (and place in Knitting/crochet!)

1. Hmmm…nope, I don’t think it would keep your shoulders warm at all…I do like it a tad better than the previous one….

4. I like funky and 60’s/70’s, but I’d be too embarrassed, it looks like she stole someone’s baby blanket!

6. Hi! I love that cape. Maybe it’s the colors that makes it that way. But I’m not so sure that I’d wear that

8. I love that poncho! I wish I had mine from when I was a teen. I also wish I had my black and white saddle shoes.

9. I love ponchos and capes. They’re so… forgiving.

10. Well if there was no wind it would give you a bit of warmth but you’re right I think it’s a fashion statement. Hmmm my mom used to crochet blankets that looked exactly like this … LOL

11. Maybe it’s camouflage if you’re going into a craft store or retirement home!

13. My wife was just looking for some design ideas for her new dress, I showed her this and she got inspired with your design.

15. It reminds me of the knitted doily that my gran used to make. I can’t picture myself in one.
