My first weekend up here in East Lansing this summer I wound up at a yarn shop called Woven Art (it was teaching crochet/knit/and letting people weave as part of be a tourist weekend). I wound up learning how to crochet, and true to form, walked out of the yarn shop with two skeins of Henry's Attic Safari III to make this guy. All it took was some double crochet in a circle. I know I said I'd never knit a poncho...but this one is crochet, thankyouverymuch. As you can see from my face, I am very unhappy about how hot Michigan is!


So of course the next step was to take Woven Art's beginning crochet class. Here are my three samplers from it.


And so of course, this little guy (sampler 3) will so be frogged and used with the rest of my remaining Alpine cotton to make a shrug. Welcome to my shrug kick.
