My squares are done 🙌

Now on to joining and edging. Guess who will be wearing a new poncho this weekend...

Veldt Fibres yarn from Charming Wool, pattern from Elle Yarns designed by Brenda Grobler. This is such a quick make. I am loving it!

Poncho progress 😍

I am making the squares simultaneously, colour by colour. Carrying the yarn caused severe tension issues, so I am sewing the ends away as I go.

I am using yarn from Veldt Fibres and a pattern from Elle Yarns.

I am so impressed with Laura's Square Motif Bag! She chose the colours, and added a lining and handles. What a gorgeous result!

What's my favourite part of putting together crochet kits?

Yes, you're right! Yarn shopping at Charming Wool 😍 Everything I need is right there under one roof: all the yarn you could ever dream of, plus crochet hooks, blunt nose needles, and other smalls.

Aren't these Elle Yarns Charity colours just gorgeous?

Gorgeous knitted socks completed by Tersia! She is so happy with how they turned out.

She used her mini skeins from my Fraai Yarn Dyeing Workshop.

I was telling her how it is such a shame that socks require shoes, how can she show them off otherwise? 😁

Fruit slices! These make excellent little gifts for any occasion. They can be used as keychains, bag tags, embellishments, or bunting.

I used Vinnis Colours Nikkim from Charming Wool, and my imagination.

Which fruit do you want to see as crochet slices next?

Interested in learning how to crochet them yourself? Let's connect on WhatsApp and schedule a class.
