And now for the gift card Winners! Yes, you are reading right… the Winners since it was pretty hard to pick up just one description. SO… the Winners of Visa Gift Card of $25 value (and Jardin Hip Shawl pattern for free too) are Tin Ambat with entries:

Evoking a garden in bloom, this 2-in-1 poncho and skirt features delicate lace motifs and a contrasting lattice panel insert. Organza flower appliques add further interest to this enchanting piece.

This 2-in-1 poncho and skirt will appeal to flower children of all ages. Repeating lace motifs are highlighted by a simple yet elegant filet panel insert, while floral organza appliques and a tasseled belt add the perfect finishing touch.

… and Mary from Australia with entry:

I think it could also be referred to as a “Hip Shawl!”.This “Hip Shawl” uses some crochet stitches which could also be used on other projects.The contrasting colours make the stitches stand out, and the organza applique on the insert give it a very girlie touch. It could also be a great addition to a travel wardrobe as it creates great versatility. Any girl would be thrilled to dress up in it whether it was around her shoulders or around her waist!

My Congratulation dear Ladies and Thank you so much for such brilliant ideas!! I’m so in love with “Hip Shawl’ and such outstanding descriptions!! I agree with Heather – I couldn’t get much better than that if I tried for sure! And not only because of my poor English ;o)

How about “Double Fun in the Sun”?. Double for the double brim, Fun for the many ways you can wear the hat, and Sun because it’s more of a Spring/Summer hat?

Alla
