Projects Done Projects Due

Revamped Ponch (still working on the Portrait Shot)

 I should have shown the 'before' picture but this was originally a very big, loose and stretchy poncho, it would hang down to my knees.  My first knitting attempt.  I was never very satisfied with it.  There were dropped stitches and a poor 'sewing together' job.  So, I pulled it out and did what I do best, crocheted.  It's still stretchy, I used a variation of the shell stitch.  But it's much smaller and quite warm, 100% wool.  I made the original poncho several years ago and I don't think I'd choose the same yarn today but, I think it's fun with jeans or something drab, note the drab turtleneck. :)

The Chickens Are Not Helping 

Next project in line, leaves!  We will all be out there today with this lull in the storms.  Crazy storm on Sunday brought almost every leaf down.  It actually helps to get it all done in one shot.

Christmas Is Coming!

A Christmas project underway.  I'll have more 'before and after' pix coming.  My little one and I went crazy with the pompom making.  We were addicted to it.  Couldn't find my pompom making tool so these are done the ole fashion way of wrapping the yarn around your fingers.  They're a bit loosey goosey but I think they look a little Dr. Suessy, no rhyme intended. ;)
