Hello everyone,

Fall is fast approaching and you know what that means… sweater time… and the Poncho is back

That’s right… the warm & cosy poncho is the hottest item for fall

www.ravelry.com has a multitude of beautiful selections to choose from

My fav is the A Very Harlot Poncho by Yarn Harlot.. easy, accommodating – just right

Check out a few of Cabin Fever poncho patterns – perfect for a Mom & Daughter
