Poncho-In-Progress
Meet my sister's poncho-to-be:
And a close up of the fabric:
It's Colinette Zanziba and Giotto (purchased at Knit Happens), in a drop stitch pattern.
I was surprised by the number of people who assumed in the comments that the hat is a stranded/fair isle type of pattern. It is not. I think I mentioned, and I thought one could tell just by looking, that it is a slip stitch pattern, "French Weave," from Barbara G. Walker's "A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns," which I picked up a few months ago at Knit New York. It's a very easy slip stitch pattern, too, in my opinion. It did not require nearly as much work as it probably looks like it required.
Anyhow, that's today's progress report. Hope you enjoyed it!

I love the slip-stitch hat! I have a pattern I purchased on hatternique.com (i think) that has a wonderful, easy s-s hat that looks uber-complicated!
