Poncho reveal!

So last night I finished off Robyn's poncho and I couldn't be more chuffed with it! She was a bit stand-offish about this morning but did give in an model it a bit earlier for me. I'll have to get better pictures of that tomorrow as a) she was shattered after 2 hours in the park and looked like she'd been dragged through a hedge backwards, and b) the picture is on my ipod and I can't figure out how to add it here!!

Anyway all I can say is that this pattern was a doddle to follow, the first time I've used just a chart and I think I may well make some more as gifts. I added a cord on my mum's advice as the head opening was a little big (I made it that way as I knew Robyn wouldn't wear it if it were too tight and also want the poncho to last!!!) and I think I'll crochet up a couple of flowers to add to the end of the cord, once that's done I'll post a few pics of Robyn wearing it!
Unfortunately I now have to spend this evening ironing as I've done nothing all week as I've been hooking up a storm! Oh well, no rest for the wicked!

Thanks again to Le Monde de Sucrette for the pattern.

Poncho love

I know it may seem crazy, it's the hottest day of the year by a long long way yet I've been crocheting a poncho for Robyn! Oh well, it will probably be freezing cold again next week!

I think we only need 3 or 4 more rounds and a shell border before it's done. I've loved it from the first round and thankfully so has Robyn. The neck is a little wide than it probably normal but I know Robyn will hate it if it's too tight, also we should get more wear out of it this way.

I found the pattern on ravelry, it's from Le Monde de Sucrette
