And, I have a few FOs to show off! Yay for productivity!!Here is Aim's "granny" poncho:
This was from a free DROPS pattern here, meant for little girls. I started with an opening large enough for an adult (I chained 128--I think it was an "I" hook), then worked around and around til it was the size that I wanted, which was also when I ran out of yarn! Cool! I used RYC Cashsoft DK yarn ~9 balls. A fun stash project.
This poncho has been great for walking the dog in our early fall temperatures. So glad I made it!Next, I made a Baktus out of Mint Chocolatini colorway sock yarn from Yarntini.
I love the way it looks with the bobbles, which I copied from a Raveler. 
This scarf is a great way to use up one ball of sockyarn. I also started and finished a Chanson en Crochet, a cute little shawl-ette that really keeps the chill off!
I made it in Brooks Farm Riata yarn, a nice mohair/wool/silk that worked out very nice. Because I only had one ball, I had to skip several rows of pattern, but you can't even tell. I already used it last Saturday morning when it was FREEZING out the morning of my garage sale. It really kept me warm enough, with a short sleeved tee underneath, until the fog cleared midmorning and the sun came out and then we were baking!
As the Nana Slippers go, I finished 1 and 7/8 of the pair, but ran out of yarn. Grrr, I have to find the calorimetry I made in that yarn and frog it (I don't like it anyway) and then I can finish the slipper. Very frustrated with that!
As usual, I've overextended myself to the point that I can't keep up. I have promised multiple great things from this blog, but have been unable to deliver. So sorry about that. I am thinking of taking blogging hiatus, but before I do I'd like to finish up some of the promises....like the tutorial I promised long ago (it's very minimal, but I DID promise!) and finish the nana slipper pattern. So I'm gonna try to do some of these things prior to signing off!

Your poncho and baktus and shawlette are so beautiful!
Re the blog, I really like your posts. You don't have to promise great things or deliver on anything, your posts are fine just the way they are.
I'm w/Mary Ann. It's your blog, not another arduous chore where Things Must Be Done.
Cute poncho and scarf!
BTW, I was watching a PBS ep, Peter Coyote said the name Truman Everts and I KNEW it was about Yellowstone, thanks to you.
Hi Aim! Your poncho is really cute! I like it and the scarf, too! You have been busy! I am sorry that it has been so long that I have said hello. Hope to see you soon in blogland sometime! :)
