Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.It appears that instead of slipping the first stitch on each row, I was slipping the first stitch over the second stitch on each row. *sigh* BDR U! (that's a family thing, the school we are all alumni of, "Brain Dead 'R' Us")So started over, got the cuff knitted again and the first three rows of the rest of the leg. Somehow it just looks a *tad* better being straight instead of looking like I'm trying to knit a triangle *best innocent look*.My daughter (she is 21, BTW, and home working to save up enough money to go back to college) finished her scarf and likes it.

Smileys Yarns has Lion Chenille yarn, too, so this will be an affordable project.She will have to learn increases and decreases, and when it's done, she will have a nice poncho to wear and will stop complaining that it's freezing around here!
