Episode 43: How about a poncho-along?

Welcome to Episode 43 of the Crafternoon Treats Crochet and Yarn podcast. Here are the new and condensed notes that I talk about in this episode 🙂 I also focus on my new Desert Irony crochet poncho pattern, which I did for the Stylecraft Blog Tour 2017 and I talk a bit about what what’s been on my hook and a couple of new projects. Later on, I highlight an important charity called Project Linus and explain a bit more about my recent niggling shoulder problem – a cloud but with a silver lining hopefully!
