Eleven-year-old Eva admired my pink and black poncho made of yarns from my collection. ”Mom, I want to make a blue and white poncho. Can I use your yarn?” she asked.
We pulled a bunch of bluish and whitish yarns from the collection, and she got to work. She graciously accepted advice on color arrangement. We looked for alternatives to fringe, and came up with working beads into a crocheted chain.
It looks great and Eva is going to enter it into the 4H Youth Fair next month.
Eva’s friend Jasmine loves green and black, so Eva crocheted her a poncho, too. This is Lion Brand Homespun with an eyelash yarn for a border. It looks great, too! Hurrah, Eva, for deciding what to do and then doing it!
