Tilt Shift FO, fashionably ahead of the game

Fall is in the air, and I’ve been wearing the heck out of my Tilt Shift Wrap. I knit this last spring during the Tilt Shift KAL. It’s just the right weight for a moderately cool/warm fall day. (Great for spring down under, too!) I finally had a chance to have DH take an FO pic, and I love it.

I was shopping at Macy’s recently, when I saw this display.

Ponchos. Lots and lots of ponchos. I’ve never pretended to be remotely fashionable, but apparently I’m spot on and ahead of the curve. Remember last spring I was trying not to use the word “poncho” so I called my Tilt Shift a wrap instead? I’m pretty over that. And now I have two Tilt Shifts at my disposal.

Plus two Summertime Blues

There’s one more poncho in my collection, but I can’t show it to you until next spring. I think you’ll like it. I *love* it, but I can’t even wear it in public yet. :sigh:

So for now I’ll wear the ones I have. I love my shawls, but these ponchos stay on my shoulders really well, which is great when I’m teaching. How about you? Are you into the poncho?

  1. I am so into the poncho! Haven’t had one since 7th grade. That would be… ten years ago? Ha ha. A cool one would be nice. I usually put on a sweater or nestle under a blanket here. Hey, check the blog. I’m talking fishermans’ knit. No, I can’t knit it. Pippi’s probably coming out next week. Our weather is crazy as is yours.
