From the website:
I always liked the easy comfortable fit that ponchos provide, but somehow this particular clothing piece never seemed right in regards to my always active child. Maya refuses to wear anything that interferes with her movement, thus the idea of cross between poncho and a sweater came to be. It is comfy and loose, yet it is not in the way for jumping, climbing, running, and hanging upside down on monkey bars.
Family Roots yarns have been a long time favorite of mine for their quality and fantastic colorways; and I knew from the start that this will be THE yarn for this project. The simple seamless construction will in fact showcase any hand dyed and variegated yarns beautifully - knit and watch the colors unfold. It is as if you are painting your own sweater, a sure delight for you as a knitter, and for your special little girls who can have a say in the colors they would like to see.
