Pretty poncho

Past week has been too hectic running to classes with my DD. I did get to start a poncho for her to wear this spring. Am half way done. Also made this 5 min bookmark for my niece.

On Saturday, I was window shopping at the local mall and just went into one of the bookstores for a gift for my friend's daughter and there I found this lovely book for kids to crochet. Its great for beginners and has lot of fun projects from a toy hammock to felted hats and backpacks. Started the toy hammock which is just chains, and then got bored with the chains. So then went net surfing and found this pattern for a bag off the Sugar n Creme site for this pretty bag which I started on then.
Sometimes I wonder at the time in hand ( or the lack of it?) spent crocheting. My DH might soon start referring to me as the crochety crocheter.
Since my DCam is done on batteries, promise to post the latest WIPS this week.

Howdy! Saw your post with your link thought I'd come visiting. A little early in the day for a glass of wine, so let's have tea.

Love the scarfs around your stuffed animals! So cute.

Congrats on your 4th place finish, how cool to win yarn. I have a pattern I bought 2 months ago to make myself a poncho, and haven't even decided what type of yarn yet to use. Somehow I never get to the stuff I want to make for me. If I'm gonna have it for spring, I should get started sometime soon.

But, am working on 2 afghans at the moment, one a gift for family that is over due, and one for Sandie for the Hurricane Relief.

I think I'll start serving wine about 4...so if you want to come visit, please do!
