"Poncho-Bilities!"

I had just finished making the Olivia Gourmet Crocheted Skirt Knockoff when somehow I went into my closet and by chance glanced at two ponchos I made a couple of years ago. I had only worn them once or twice and into the closet they went after I felt that ponchos went out of style as quickly as they were in.

Since the poncho was a simple lace pattern consisting of chains and single crochets, inspiration hit me as I realized I can revitalize the poncho as a skirt with a little "creative frogging" and a little more crocheting. Here is a close up of the poncho before "creative frogging" .

Here is the other poncho that I already "converted" into a skirt. I carefully frogged the neck and somehow figured out how to crochet the foundation ch's into the pattern stitches. I then single crocheted elastic around the foundation stitches. I did run out of the yarn while I was crocheting the elastic. I went to one of my bags of cotton thread and found at least 4 yards of the cotton yarn that I put away "for a rainy day". Boy that sure saved me a loot of frustration!!

Here is a convoluted close-up of the "converted" skirt.
Wow! I never imagined I would triple my crocheted wearables in one day!
Thank You Lord!!
