Test knit for poncho

Here is a swatch that I've just made for my poncho. The original pattern for the poncho has charted stripes running diagonally through the body but I've decided to replace these with a classic cable worked over 16 rows. The yarn I'm using is Cascade Eco Wool purchased from Penelope Craft, Lange Leidsedwarsstraat 99, Amsterdam - a great yarn boutique! I'll keep you updated how the Mancho comes along...
