I wanted to find or make something purple or lavender to go with the new March of Dimes® logo. I was also contemplating if I could use the simple washcloth pattern to make a poncho. Then I came across this absolutely beautiful and wonderfully soft lavender yarn on clearance. So for $3 a skein the purple experiment began. The results are a wonderfully cuddly poncho. The experiment turned out to be a bit longer and narrower then I had originally planned but still fun and functional.
