Recycling Malabrigo

Remember when I made that Malabrigo capelet for myself and was convinced that it would be the perfect accessory for me? Well, yeah...not so much. It was cute--the yarn is awesome--but was never really "me" so I never wore it. Couldn't even pass it off on anyone (not even my MOM).

The capelet sat in my stash box for many moons since I considered it "yarn" and not a finished object. I finally got around to unraveling it yesterday when the perfect project for it popped into my head: a poncho for Amelia. We are going to San Francisco in a few weeks, after all. And every Baby Girl needs to have an adorable Malabrigo poncho for San Francisco, right?
