Poncho Progress

As promised, here are the pictures of the progress I have made on Megan's poncho so far.  The pattern calls for 2 rectangles to be sewn together and trimmed along the neckline and bottom with fun fur.  The pattern is a free one from the Lion Brand Yarn website.  The majority of this progress was made on Labor Day during the CSI marathon.  I have been so busy lately that I have not done much more since then.  September starts the fall festival season around here, and last weekend was the first in the series.  Now, I love fall festivals, so I will be going to as many as I can for the next few weekends.  This weekend will be no exception.  Unless............  another hurricane is lurking.  The latest forecasts for our area show the remnants of Hurricane Ivan will dump from 5 - 10 inches of rain on us somewhere around Friday.  Depending on how fast he moves out of here, that could easily extend into Saturday.  In that case, the festival will be washed out, and there will be a lot more poncho progress to post by the end of the weekend!  As tired of all this rain as we are here, I can't even imagine how those poor folks in Florida feel!  But I am hoping against hope for the rain to be gone by Saturday.  Friday is my birthday, and I am stuck working a 12 hour shift that day, so I really wanted to have some fun this weekend.  Is it time for the fall weather yet?????????????
