Granny Square Goodness

Rowan's Poncho
Karen over at Sew and Sow Life spoke about accountability partners earlier this week.  She invited her readers to leave a note in the comments about a task or a project they would be happy to complete by Friday (today).  I commented that I wanted to finish my granddaughter's poncho I've been working on.   I didn't quite finish, but the day is not over!  I still need to add about another inch of border all around, then sew in the fiddly ends, and finally block it.  I think a matching headband is in order, too, before I ship it.  (oh dear! glad I caught that typo before I hit publish! that's all I'm saying)

I found the granny square pattern in this magazine, and interpreted it into a poncho.

I'm pretty sure I need this skirt!  What do you think?  In sophisticated colors, I think it could be pulled off.  Possibly not by me, but.....

We have another Sundance movie tonight.  I'll crochet in the car on the way up to Park City.

Have a great weekend!

  3. Love the granny squares for the poncho, Bobbi! I don't think I've ever seen them done in blue and white! Very fresh and crisp! (warm, too, I'll bet!) Yes, you must make that skirt!!

  5. I'm glad you caught that typo.....

    And yes, I think you need that skirt.

    For sure.

    Perhaps a poncho to match?

    Don't you like how I help?

    I do like the accountability idea.

    I can use lots of that..........
