Something new on my hook…

Good morning sweeties

This weekend I started something new…Yes I know I have already 4 crochet wips and one knitting but I could not help myself…

Inspired by this wonderful blog and the beautiful ponchos they make, I started a poncho for myself… a big poncho …something like a wearable blanket… Something that will keep me warm and free my hands and feet to move and do things at home… Something I can wear while crocheting in front of the T.V during the cold evenings…

And how big was my surprise when I read this morning Lucy’s post and discovered that she started a poncho for herself too πŸ˜€

This poncho I am crocheting is made of granny squares and a black border. I am loving too much the black against the other colors…

I started the front and the back separately….and I’ll sew them together once they are done…

I am using leftovers from my stash, mostly 100% acrylic nako vizon yarn with a 4.5mm hook…

You can find the graphic pattern of the square here.Β I’ll join the squares as I go and once the front and the back crocheted I’ll sew them together…

But it is growing …very slow…but growing…

25 rounds so far…

and yes, I’m gonna spoil him (or her) with a lot A LOT of crochet πŸ™‚ For my first two babies (in 2005 and 2007), I did not crochet at the time, so my mother made for them crocheted blankets and I was making cross stitch for their rooms…but now…OH MY…I’m gonna make blankets, hats, socks, amigurumi toys, little sweaters… everything I can make with my hook πŸ˜‰ I can not wait to STAAAAAAAAAART πŸ™‚ crazy mom!
