Yarn Along

I have had a really busy few weeks with little visitors.  We have had some wonderful outings and fun times together but I am saving that for another post.  I am in the process of crocheting ponchos for the two girls for travelling to Florida, they can double up as a wrap for aeroplane if it is chilly or they nap.  They are very good little helpers and love to help by holding the yarn.


 
We also have an four legged helper who had to be put out because he loves the dolls house people a little too much.
 
The yarn is a beautiful arran with a fleck and is a dream to crochet with.
 
 
The pattern is a vintage pattern that was part of my pattern collection, its a very quick and fun make.
 
 
I am joining in with Ginny over at Small Things for the weekly yarn along.  Pop on over and see what is on everyone else's needles.  Not a lot of reading getting done, apart from the local newspaper and a lot of children's books we are enjoying some quality time with books before bed.
 
See you soon.

    It's nice to see them making such a popular comeback - seeing them more and more!

    You do beautiful work, and your "littles" are adorable - can't wait to read more about their visit!!

  13. Ponchos are nice and had one when I was pregnant with my first child. Old patterns are still useful and fun to see those pictures. I still have a few myself. I yearn to my small knitting project going again. Sigh!!
