I stopped crocheting the StitchDiva Floral Mini Poncho with the 100% rayon *expensive* yarn - so mad at myself! It just was not working out. I restarted the poncho with some heavy worsted weight yarn that I got from ebay. THAT yarn is great. and it is making up the poncho just beautfiully. A little bright, but the pattern stitches are showing up nicely. I love crocheting this poncho. Lots of ttc's and the petals are looking good to me !!! I will post pics later.

I would like to crochet this up in a tan - like the picture

Need to find some nice heavy wool or cotton to do that.

Need to find a good knitting project... There is a sweater in Hip To Knit. That i think I might start on... we'll see.

But it shrunk a little and I actually like the fit better now. I love this pattern. It

Another FO. This is Cleo from Knitty. I used Schaefer Laurel (I think this is my fav yarn right now). The color is great. Too bad the model is not. I still need to put in the elastic so it will fit better at the high waist. I really like this pattern. I think I will defo make it again but with a little more coverage over my sagging you-know-whats :) This is Cleo

Clapotis Done !!

My Clapotis is finished! I love this pattern. I love this garment. It is so versatile. I made mine out of a beaded rayon which knit up just beautifully and drapes perfectly. I'd like to make another out of a wool, silk blend next for warmth. This particular clapotis will be perfect for spring and autumn. Clapotis makes me happy !
