The Previously Promised Craft Project Update

I finished something! Go, me!

Okay, it's just a crocheted poncho. In rather crappy yarn, to boot. But I really like this ombre for Homespun.





I think I've decided that Homespun is a decent yarn for crochet, but terrible for knitting. Of course, I still have one more knit project with it on needles, but I think that'll be it.

So, still in progress:

Knit:
Homespun vest, about 7" done so far
Suede poncho, about 3/4 done with the back
Takhi Tweed scarf, about 8" done so far

Crochet:
Mushroom Hat, holding pattern, about 1/10 finished
Homespun beret, to match the poncho, just started


Have the yarn for but haven't started yet:

Knit:
Cobweb shawl (still scared, but less so)
Acrylic Slytherin scarf (putting off 'till later)
The Harlot poncho (Wool-Ease, in Rice colors)

Crochet:
The Granny-square poncho, in green Homespun
The Pentacle Shawl (just need to edge it, might bring to CMA)


I'd meant to try and do some beading today, but it didn't happen. *sigh*



I did get a waterproof box to bring a couple of projects to the campout with. So I'll see what I can pack . . .

Oooh, pretty!

Have I mentioned that reading about all your groovy craft projects makes me wanna learn to knit (and to crochet more than just a chain stitch, which is as far as I ever got as a kid)?

At work lately I've been watching Mary Poppins over and over again. There are a handful of scenes where she's wearing a cool scarf with a slightly tighter chainlink effect of your poncho above. It's also got a nifty fringe. I saw it and thought of you. If you can stand renting VHS, check it out now, or wait for whenever the DVD will actually street. (Thinking the scarf is approx 4' long, maybe 9-10" wide, fringe maybe 6" (included in the overall length), and there were some nice shifts in a watermelon coloring.

That's very neat.
