Look, Rhonda!

I finally finished it! I'm in the process of knitting or crocheting something for each of the girls. I knit a sweater for Anna-Christina when she was 2, and since have started one for Olivia. (Now I'm going to take it to the "knitting clinic" because I'm having problems.) Anyway, I decided to crochet ponchos in the meantime for something quick and easy, and because they all want one. I started off making this one for Olivia, but then she didn't like the colour so it became Adie's. I think it was dark in the store where I bought the yarn...kind of a "dusty rose", as we used to say. I don't particularly care for it. But anyway, it was so easy I can make more if I decide to. So now I've started a cream coloured one for Olivia, and AC wants lavender.
I may be a lot of things, but crafty I am not, so it feels great to have this finished, and actually looking okay! :-) (Rhonda, did you notice I added the tassles, even though the pattern didn't say to? Not bad, eh?)

Jenn, you could totally do this for Erica. If you want I could send you the instructions. If you can crochet, you can make it!

I've crocheted a dish cloth...that's it.
Maybe if i just keeping going on the dish cloth,making it really long and then wrap it around erica it would work.

This looks great! Are you able to email the instructions? I've been wanting to get back into crocheting again. This would be a great Christmas gift for our 7 nieces (like I'd ever get them all done by Christmas!)P.S. Great picture of A!
