- Description:
- The object is a crocheted poncho made from yarn with a colour-changing gradient, starting at gray and mixing between purples, pinks and blues. The Poncho features four points and was crafted using a combination of granny square stitches and other decorative stitches.
- Story:
- This poncho was made from yarn I bought in Greece from a sketchy alleyway yarn store. While travelling, I had a limited amount of space to carry things, so being a yarn project, I had to be mindful of the space I had and whether I could work on it while travelling. While I was travelling in France after leaving Greece, I continued working on the project, and it holds many memories for me.
- My Point of View:
- I have a few stories associated with this piece, but I want to share my favourite here. When I first travelled to Greece, I came with little yarn so that I could buy more on the trip. By the third day, I ran out of yarn, and since it was Easter in Greece, many stores were closed. In Larissa, I had found a yarn store on Google that was supposed to be open, but it was closed when I arrived, and I was disappointed. Feeling defeated, I walked to the hotel down a random, kind of sketchy alley, and I found a yarn store. I was so happy! The yarn store had boxes of yarn piled high, and I found yarn with no tags, but I was in heaven.
