Is it just me, or do you think ponchos are taking the "in" spot in crochet apparel this season?  Everywhere I look lately, I see ponchos!  Especially the sort of Bohemian style poncho... ah, maybe that's what it is!  This particular poncho is very "boho", with it's rustic plaid design and it's fringes.

I love the color changes taking place in this beautiful crochet infinity scarf!  What's great about this design, is that it actually doesn't require several different color changes and yarn; but it's done by using one yarn with a gradient color change on it's own.

There's a photo circulating on Pinterest like a wild fire of busy knit knee high socks with flower embellishments.  I had been sent that photo numerous times with people wanting me to make them.

What an exciting year for crochet!   Crochet can be found all over the runway anywhere from fashion accessories, accents, highlights, to the entire outfit.  I've literally poured over thousands of images from fashion shows and designer collections these past few weeks, although it was a bit exhausting, it left me quite ecstatic because I love anything crochet, and it is wonderful to see the attention that it is getting, especially this season! I am seeing granny squares, mesh, floral squares and motifs, striping, edging, fringes, and crochet lace, from not well known designers and high fashion labels alike! I would have to label the overall theme for this season as 70's retro.  Many designers have opted for this bohemian styled carefree look and it was very interesting to see how each one portrayed it as their own.
