Helloooooo!

I am super super happy about you all joining the poncho’s experience 🙂 It made my heart sings with joy 🙂 It will be so much fun I am sure 🙂

Welcome to you all 🙂 You can join, of course, you can join, even if you already crocheted some, even though it will not be for you, and even if it will be not right now (you have to finish some wips first) You are all welcome 🙂 whenever you want to join I’ll be waiting for you 🙂 and I am very happy to have you all crocheting a long with me this happy piece of clothe 🙂

I’ve added a small and a bigger button with their html codes on my previous post…if you want to grab them and add them to your blog or your website, do not hesitate …they are HERE at the end of the post !

and to my lovely french friends: Rosalie a gentiment propose le pattern en francais pour celles qui le desirent…le debut est un peu different mais le resultat le meme 🙂 Vous pouvez trouver le tuto ICI! Merci infiniment Rosalie 🙂

So, today, I want to share with you the beginning of my poncho…

Let’s take a look at the yarn first…well, do you remember the yarn I showed you in this post ?

Yes, it is the new Nako: the superlambs special a 50%acrylic, 50% wool that I’ll be using for my poncho.

There is 12 colors… deep colors that reminds you the autumn …

and I’ve totally fallen in love with these colors…they are my colors of the moment 😀 hehe

and now, let’s take a peek to the first 4 rounds of the poncho…

I’m crocheting the poncho with a 4.5mm crochet hook. I’ve started it with a chain of 88ch…yes, my head is a little big 😉

Don’t forget: Your beginning chain must be a multiple of 8 and big enough to enter through the head!

I’m very pleased with the first 4 rounds of my poncho 🙂 and I am sooo thrilled about it…when I’m doing things around the house I keep thinking about the moment I will grab my hook and add some rounds 🙂

So, my lovelies, if you did not join us yet, I hope that today you will change your mind 🙂 Come onnnnnnnnnnnn! We are waiting for youuuuuuuuuuuuu!

    Good idea!! I did not have a chance to comment yesterday, but I do think I will also make one with your pattern. I completed 2 ponchos last winter for my grand-daughter, but your pattern looks as though it may be easier. The ones I made were from a yarn wrapper pattern: 2 rectangles that are then sewn together. They were ok, one red, one bright pink, but I think I prefer the possibility of different colored rounds; much more fun and lively!! But… I, too , have projects that must be either completed or put away before I start yet another one…..

    no, why change my ways now, I will get started tomorrow!!! Thanks for the pattern. Will try to get some pics also as I progress.

    I’ve posted a photo of the beginning of my poncho in my blog and in my projects on Ravelry. Can’t figure out How to list it under ‘shared projects’ on your page there, but once I do I’ll put it up.

    Your use of color has made my crocheting more exciting.
    Made pom hoc over the years, but ny far, your pattern
    And use of color has made it more excited to hurry and
    Finish project so I can hear ”

    Thank you for making crocheting much more fun!

    Need to correct my typos. Just wanted to tell you that the
    Poncho pattern , with all the beautiful colors, has made all
    My crocheting more exciting. Using the combinations has helped
    Me tremendously exciting. The poncho is becoming my latest
    “wow” from my friends and family. Thank you.

    Well, it percolated in my head for about 20 hours and I just had to join up in this crochet -a-long! Dual purpose to it, to use up gifted yarn and to keep my shoulders and back warm when I am working at the computer…

    Thanks for the inspiration!
