My friend Knitress was right on both counts: Martha’s poncho was crocheted, and made from Lion Brand’s Homespun yarn. The Lion Brand website has a crochet pattern for it up now, and will have a knit one up soon.
Sorry, Manolo!
Personally, this design is too boho for my taste. But I can say after spending 2 days in the streets of London that the shops are full of the boho look for spring.
