the latest.....

Finally finished the lacy poncho that I started awhile back. And, it is cool enough to wear it....End of July in the NW.

I got sidetracked working 3 jigsaw puzzles in a row....this one was a bit difficult, although beautiful! the pieces even looked like glass or pieces of china, it must have come from a very fine photo!
Anyway, got back to the poncho, and I do like it alot.

Here it is all pinned out....

I wore it to work today.
I didn't mean to put this photo on twice. Obviously can't figure out how to delete it!
