Thanks so much! I had a great time looking through the links, and the links
from the links, and so on *laugh*. So that's what the fashion ponchos look
like - more decorative and fishnet-like than practical!

Just had an idea - I think putting in tiny shiny beads would make the poncho
"shimmer" and look even more glamourous. Hmm! Time for me to learn how to
add beads to my stitches.

Hugs,

Friday's New York Times fashion editor sniffed that "ponchos won't last;
they'll be next year's big markdown" -- but these are the people who are
touting the wonders of shoes that will ruin your feet and back! Me, I
look forward to seeing ponchos go the way of shawls, with varied
weights, patterns, and decoration. The fashion plate in our office has
been wearing glittery openwork shawls for some time, and Friday she wore
an openwork pink knitted poncho. What Gwen wears, everybody admires, so
i expect to see the knitters in our office follow suit soon!
