I had a full ball of it left over from a previous knitting failure, so I only had to get two more. A poncho for $15 sounds like a deal to me! The thing is Imagine is fatter than Kidsilk Haze, so it&#8217;s going to be heavier and not so delicate and lacy lovely like <a href=\"http:\/\/swim.typepad.com\/swim\/\">Melanie<\/a>&#8216;s is.

And I know it should be obvious to me, but I am having a doozy of a time figuring out which is the right side and the wrong side, and what&#8217;s even more confusing is it gets kind of backwards when you start knitting the body, because you&#8217;re knitting upside down, sort of. I think I am definitely going to be someone who gets early onset dementia.<br \/>\nBy the way, I read somewhere that Imagine is being discontinued!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started knitting Karis, the lacy poncho from Rowan 36, but instead of using the lovely Rowan Kidsilk Haze that the pattern calls for, I&#8217;m using Lion Brand Imagine, a nylon\/mohair blend (mostly nylon with a dash of mohair thrown &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/?p=359\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-knitting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/359\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
