my swaps

I have found that I am totally into swaps. I haven't completed one yet, but have joined some swaps and will let you know how it goes. I found some swaps on Ravelry for Crochet and joined two groups. I was then lead to Swap-bot which has many different kinds of swaps. Most are not pricey on Swap-bot. I say "GO CHECK IT OUT!" I bet you will get hooked like I already know I will!

Purple Poncho

I haven't posted in a while! I have completed a few projects since my last post, but the latest is this purple poncho. I signed up for these packaged kits from Annie's crafts that are sent monthly with a pattern. Well, this purple poncho is the result of one of the packages. It was very easy and worked up fast. I modified the neck because it was just too large. I love it and will make another but in a more neutral color I do believe. I love getting these little packages in the mail and would recommend doing one of these. I am considering signing up for yarnbox. I watched a few youtube videos on these and I think they are worth the money. I am going to be going to Hot Springs next week to a yarn shop there. I am hoping to make a big haul of wonderful yarn. I will let you know and will post some pictures. Bye for now
