It has been a while since I posted - I was just a bit tired and bummed last week so I didn't do much knitting or crochet. I was also desperately trying to get the forms filed so I can take my licensing exam in Jan. I had put all the paper work away while dealing with moving my mother, when I finally got it out to see what needed to be done I realized I missed the deadline to file, so there I was calling the testing company and NYS and trying to get it all done asap. I was able to register for the exam - had to pay a $50 late fee - then had to scramble to get a passport photo and get the license exam notarized so I could mail that in.
Fortunately Marilyn is a notary - so I went there yesterday and gave her the poncho for her birthday. It looked really good on her! I hope she likes it - I will try to get a picture to post. I finished it late on Sat night and had no film to photogragh it before we left on Sunday. I like the design - I modeled it on this, but used the tulip crochet stitch and a soft bulky wt acrylic, Misty by Red Heart. It is very warm and cozy. I liked it so much I want to make one for me too!
I did a bunch of crochet squares for Robert's afghan I have 12 knit squares in the middle and 16 crochet square in each end so it looks like this:

I think I will do Jeff's a little differently.
Today at lunch - after I finish posting I am going to co for another one of these I made a bunch last winter and I love them. This one is in brown alpaca.

Hey, glad your back from hiatus. That paperwork for licensing is a killer. At least in TN. I still have to get my act together for the license itself. The stuff for the NCE was nothing compared to this.
That head band looks really nice and in alpaca whoa, that will feel so soft and warm!! Have a great day!
