Poncho Dilemma

Help! I have a poncho dilemma!

I am planning to crochet this poncho.
I've even bought the wool and all - Cleckheaton Country 8 Ply in Dijon mustard.

So why haven't I started?

Well I'm not sure about the colour. And then Lincraft had Cleckheaton Country 8 ply on sale so I bought some in different colours that I thought looked good with the mustard.

Now my dilemma: Do I make it in one colour ...

....or multi coloured stripes?

I do love colour. And like to wear lots of colour. Perhaps without the pink??? I don't know! Help!

Mexican Monday!

My Mexican Jacket........

I searched long and hard to find a vintage Mexican Souvenir jacket that was my size.....

  ....had puffed sleeves.....

.....and pockets!

The image on the back is like a story book. These jackets were often purchased on a Mexican honeymoon (I wish!)as a keepsake.

This is a close up of the wool embroidery - so textured and colourful.

I tried to get a shot of me wearing but looked like either cranky ....

 ...or like an open mouth idiot! Too hard! Sigh!
