Finishing Up the Poncho Leftovers

In January I went to visit my grandparents in New Hampshire. While I was there I measured my grandfather so I could finally make him the sweater I've been promising him for years. I came home and started spinning up the left over poncho fluff, which I thought would be a good choice for him. The next day I received word that he passed away. Since then, I've continued the process of making his sweater. I don't really know what else to do. I won't be able to make it back out there for the funeral due to weather. In a way, this is my own way of mourning.
Here is the yarn:

Bob's Poncho

Recently, I tasted some of the very best coffee I've ever had. It's from a roaster in Iowa too! Bob and Teri Hager roast the very best beans in Quasqueton, and deliver their delicious brew to Newbo every week. Here is there website.
ANYWAY
I made him a poncho. And it's so preeettttyyyyy
First I spun up this beautiful Corriedale (Ames) and this lovely alpaca (Decorah)
Then I knit a bunch of squares using the woven stitch

I crocheted the squares together and attached that to a pieceof felt

And Ezry (my angora bunny) approved.
