Different poncho

I crochetted this poncho specefically to sell. The buyer requested if someone could make her dd this exact poncho, the original pattern is in adult size.

I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to do it but it worked out, quite nicely too. ;o) It is a very nice looking pattern & once I got past the neck edging, it was very easy.

Quick Gift Exchange Scarves

I whipped out this scarf for a gift exchange. I used 2 different yarns. The light color is the same yarn I unravelled from that sweater a few posts back.

I used a large hook, size Q. The scarf worked up quite soft & thick. I didn't realize but I also made it quite LONG. It is over 6.5 feet long.

It reminded me of a zebra......& I thought it was kinda 'pimp' looking. lol It was quite the hit @ the gift exchange.
This was the other one I made. I still used the large Q hook bu tonly one strand of yarn @ a time. It gives it a more open look even though it is still a double crochet. I also added a stripe of variegated yarn for variety/interest.

And a close up. The variegated has lavender in it....but it didn't accentuate it as well as I was hoping.

Lovely Blue Scarf

I just finished this scarf & hat set. It only took about a day, maybe an hour or 2 for the scarf & possibly a little less than an hour for the hat. I used the wrong size hook & different yarn than the pattern called for, for the hat so it was coming out doll size @ first. I tore it out & tried using a larger hook but that made it too holey & downright ugly. I went back to the orginal pattern & hook & added a few more 'expanding rows' & that did the trick.

I also worked the scarf length wise rows instead of width. It made it work MUCH faster, no time wasted turning the scarf back & forth. I attached the fringe trim that you can see. I still have not figured out a nicer way to attach it. :( But i tcame out ok, overall. I actually created the scarf pattern myself, it's very simple. I'm sure if someone looked close they could figure it out. I added an edge to match the round circles on the trim. I used the same edge on the hat. I love this scarf so much that I think it will be my 'new' scarf pattern from now on. lol
