I'm on CRACK! My Love for Ponte Knit!

This stuff is like crack to me.  I have to have it, all of it, all the time. I have a nice stash, but I want more. I want Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Pink, etc., you get the picture.  Its so durable and easy to use.    No matter what my pattern describes as the appropriate fabric, I see it in Ponte Knit.
 
Though in my mind I know it is not appropriate for every garment, actually it may not be appropriate on most projects I do, but I love it.  I can't get enough of it.  So with my Christmas funds, I dived in.  Yes, Joann's had an online sale, along with my coupon, I saved a bundle. 




I promise I will not covet this fabric but make meaningful use of it. I will not stash it away and stare at it daily, like I do the many yards of it I have at home now.  I'm thinking some really cute red Ponte Roma Knit wide legged pants would be cute.  Or maybe a nice Royal Blue dress with side pleats and a side split, hmmmmmmm yum.   Or even a cute chocolate brown cape, and black peplum.  Oh how my minds travels when it comes to Ponte. 

I think I will now call my son Ponte, because I love this stuff, just as much as I love him. What do you think?

 
 Happy Creating!
