I've been working full-time and then some since my last post, but the great thing about the full-time job is it comes with an hour lunch break. It only takes me about 15 minutes to heat up and eat my frozen lunch, so that gives me 45 minutes to crochet (or, occasionally, return calls from web design and IT clients).

This has been especially great since I tore out the beginnings of a poncho I'd started last December (I got some yarn for Christmas, and immediately started far more projects than I really needed to) and re-did it, this time with proper sizing. What I have now dubbed the Poncho Verde has turned into something I will actually wear once this stupid heat wave is done with.

First, I made the two main pieces of the poncho. It's two rectangles 12" x 24", with an overall pattern of st1, sk2, in alternating rows of sc and dc. It makes a bunch of small squares (I may do this in stripes someday).

Want to spend a ridiculous amount of money on something that you then have to hand-crank in order to make it work? Want that something to be a vibrator?
