They have proved to be a perfect accessory for the sunny spring weather at the moment, and can be worn with just about anything.
Our minis have been wearing theirs' when there's been a bit of a chill in the air in the mornings, as a very 'girlie' alternative to a cardi or jacket.
Whilst in Spring, the new lines have been knitted in lighter weight yarns, some in lace effect knits, and I decided to use double buttons.
It's been really lovely to be able to use unusual and different combinations of colours, so that each poncho can be as different from the next wherever possible, to maintain the 'uniqueness' which is integral to my ethos. Sometimes, when the yarn used for the actual poncho is rescued, there is a limited supply, therefore I may only be able to get one poncho made out of what I have, which in turn makes that item unique, as does the use of vintage buttons. It gives each piece a real sense of individuality.
And then mills&bloom nicked the idea and made a grown-up version!
They sold out last Autumn, and there are only a couple left from this Spring's collection, so if you're interested, contact me for more details, it's no problem.
Meanwhile, minimills and bloom hope you enjoy the sunshine. Please check back for a new feature in a couple of weeks..X
