Remember those Crochet Cables?
Well, what got me started on them was creating a Poncho for Inside Crochet.
I love this poncho and it has been so difficult to keep it a secret. Thankfully, it is now published so I can share!
I had the poncho back in October and have been wearing it. It is so warm and snuggly.
I used Aran Tweed Knitting Wool from Kilcar in Donegal, Ireland. It comes in 200g skeins (Length = 320 m / 350 yards) Lilac-4812. The Poncho uses 8 skeins. You can buy online from COMMODUM art and design. They also sell on eBay, just search for “Donegal yarn”. It is aran weight and 100% wool. It may seem a bit expensive, the conversion rate (at the time of designing) made it about £10 (GBP) for 200g. But when you consider that the Sirdar Click cost me £3.25 for 50g, it is actually a very reasonable price. It is lovely to work with and gorgeous to wear. |  |
 | The poncho is in Januarys Inside Crochet (issue 37) which was out at the end of December. |
And there is a matching Hat and Mitten set on my site. The Hat uses 1 skein and the mittens use 1 skein. |
