I mentioned in my last post I was thinking of trying to crochet a poncho...well i have done just that and it is almost finished. I used a varigated yarn for some of the stripes and a purple and a turquoise I really wanted to use a pink but couldn't find the right shade so went for the turqoise . I think it looks better in real life than the pics though. I am going to put some granny roses on it to and a fringe to finish it off . I will post a pic of when it's totally finished.
I also crocheted a pretty mandala last night . I found the pattern on
Barbara's blog. I enjoyed making this and will do some more soon. I would love to try out some different colour combos of this. Thankyou barbara for the easy to follow tutorial .
here is a pic of my first attempt.
