My oldest daughter has been asking me to make her a simple crochet poncho for a while now. And recently, while crocheting a couple of my newest patterns, the Centaur Mandala Afghan and Chimera Scarf, I realized that a combination of the simple crochet stitches I was using would be perfect for a poncho. This is how the Wasilla Poncho came to be! Ponchos are great to wear for seasonal transition pieces. They're also great for late night bonfires when the air gets chilly. Dress them up, dress them down. You really can't go wrong with a poncho!

I love these potholders because they are easy to make and can be completed in just a couple of hours or less. They also make great gifts - perfect for housewarmings, birthdays, Mother's Day, etc. This pattern uses a combination of the star stitch and half double crochet worked into the back loop only to create a really elegant pattern that is sure to be a beautiful addition to any kitchen. The potholders are worked in the round which creates the double layer of thickness that I love.

What says Spring and Summer better than bright flowers? Well, at least where I live that's what those seasons say. It's a time to get back to nature! Or at least, create some nature with your yarn.
