Another one bites the dust - crochet exits

At LAST I have finished crochet poncho and hat and scarf for my friend's girls - they were quick to make but finishing them, taking pics for future reference, re making the items and patterning them so I can have a copy of what ive done, eternal deliberations...... all took AGES!!  I shall have to change my colour pallette of choice soon, before i do overkill - but still loving the grey pink and red combo.  The grey wool is a gorgeous super chunky by Wendy, in Jet.  The red and pink are DK or Aran weight - combined to provide a similar thickness to the wendy yarn.  The Crochet stitches are mainly DC or SC, although on the poncho i experimented with stitches and did some rows with alternating stitch colour which provided interesting patterns.










Also made hat and scarf for my 5 year old niece - she looks gorgeous i think! She wanted 'sparkles' on hers so I added a few sequins - red stars and tiny black ones (cant really see on this pic). Have also experimented with how to make bobbles - i'll do a separate post on this.
