"The Mid Summer Cardigan is lightweight, long and loose. Perfect as a beach cover up, or for getting comfy on the couch. This easy to wear cardigan flows effortlessly with side and back slits. The 3/4 sleeves provide coverage without overwhelming. When I chose the Summer's End Cardigan for July's CAL, I knew I wanted a longer option as well. And love how the Mid Summer Cardigan turned out, it's been a fav outside and inside the house. This one is so versatile. I can throw it on for the pool, or over leggings in the morning and feel dressed!"

"The Bella Asymmetrical Poncho is an oversized poncho made with a large hook and a lacy shell stitch and look how beautiful and elegant it looks! This is a lovely stitch design and it only has a two stitch repeat which makes it easy to remember. I wanted the asymmetrical poncho to turn out lighter and more drapey than a heavy fabric so this is why a size 8mm crochet hook was used with an aran yarn. An oversized asymmetrical poncho is a perfect piece to add for the colder months as you can just throw it on over a sweater or a long sleeved top and it will look great on but it is also great for the cooler summer evenings too."
