Keeppi Venetsiassa/Poncho in Venice

Keeppi pääsi ulkoilemaan Venetsiaan. Olimme miehen kanssa siellä kahden päivän lomalla, vain 4 ja puoli tuntia junalla Roomasta. Venetsiassa oli kylmää ja aurinkoista.



Poncho:
Model: from here, I modified it a bit (I made it shorter than in the pattern, and it became too short... then I knitted a long cable which I attached to the hem.)
Yarn: Grignasco Merino, about 800 gr
Needles: 5 mm
Comments: The poncho is warm and cosy, but it has 2 problems:
1) The colour is wrong for me.
2) It's totally not practical. You can not raise your hands, nor have a backbag or a bag on a shoulder. And a small lady handbag just is not my style.

Mutta keeppi päällä on mukava neuloa.
