Definitely more fashion than practical! The one good thing about the
pattern I made is that the band around the top is tightly crocheted, so it does give some warmth to your shoulders--just perfect for a nice fall day, or when you're stuck in a building with too cool of a temperature! Beads would be an interesting addition! I've never done beaded crochet, but I can imagine that it would take what seems like forever to string all the beads on before starting! ~Kristen "Angela" wrote in message ... 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, Angela |

I am going to attempt this one as well. My daughter wants one, so why not
try. I had printed this from the same site. There are others on the same site that are pretty cute for little ones. "Kristen" wrote in message ... This is the one my roommate and I are making: http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com...poshponcho.php Both the patterns we considered making are new patterns, not vintage ones. The popular ponchos are mostly the more open, just for fashion, not for warmth type garments. They're also shorter than a lot of the vintage patterns I found. This one works up pretty quick; after you get past the band at the top, it goes very fast...last night was slow crocheting because I had to keep stopping to help my roommate with her crocheting...at least that's going better than the knitting lesson I tried to give last winter! ~Kristen "Angela" wrote in message ... Heya everyone, I lurk in this group a lot :-). Just wanted to ask about the crocheted ponchos which are supposedly in fashion right now - what do they look like? Any pictures that I could look at? Thanks, Angela |

It went very quickly and I finished one and almost another since last week
and really didn't work much on them. I've been asked to make two more ponchos and one is for a 7 year old (upon showing her mine and putting it over her shoulders she looked up and said "make me one!"), so maybe I'll take a look at some of the children's patterns now! ~Kristen "Hubbell's" wrote in message ...

I think I have plenty of scarves that if I wanted something to go around my
neck, I could find something easily! I think, though, because of the openness of this pattern, this poncho will definitely be a fall garment. Weather here never seems to be in between; it will be nice and comfortable one week and super chilly the next! ~Kristen "Mirjam Bruck-Cohen" wrote in message ...

I'll certainly be happy to make her a poncho
My first year of college she picked out yarn for me to make her an afghan (she was 3 at the time) and I think she still does tote it around with her whenever she goes on trips, and it's not a child-size afghan, either! ~Kristen "Mirjam Bruck-Cohen" wrote in message ... Kristen ... that was cute .. the looking up and saying "Make me one " great compliment .. mirjam |

Hee Kirsten Welcome back ,, god to READ you !!
And why is the homespun not good for a poncho ???? mirjam My roommate wanted to use Homespun on her poncho but I quickly told her she couldn't use it if she wanted fringe! I used TLC Amore yarn, while she chose to use some Wool-Ease. I finished mine over the weekend and have been commissioned to make two more, and to finish one I'd started out of scrap yarn to test out the pattern (of course, I'm not going to have enough of the scrap to finish, by just barely, so I"ll have to buy another skein of it). This one works up very quickly! ~Kristen "Seaspray" wrote in message ... I am just finishing my DD's poncho in which I used Homespun yarn. This particular yarn does fray at the ends. She wants fringe and I was reluctant to do it, but she asked me to add beads on the ends of the fringe, along with a knot after the bead. Seems that she saw that in a store at the mall. This may be another alternative in using beads in crochet. I am gonna try this and see how it turns out. I won't put a bead at each fringe end, but just some of them.

Heh, the fashion trend hasn't gone that far yet. Bet your first beaded fishnet poncho becomes a trendsetter! It does seem a great idea! Time for me to learn how to add beads to my stitches. Load the beads on the thread/yarn first, then bring them into the work one at a time. Hmm you will not want to use a fluffy thread/yarn if you go this route -- there will be a LOT of beads on your waiting yarn! A picture is worth a thousand words, and this site is useful: http://beadcrochet.com/ Another tried and true method is to string the beads on a very strong, light, inconspicuous thread and carry it along with the heavier, textured and/or otherwise hard to string many beads onto main thread/yarn.You'd work it the same way, just using the two threads together. ----------------------------------------- Only know that there is no spork. |

I tried out the pattern with some leftover microspun. It isn't too hard for me
(a beginner at crochet) but I did run out of the microspun with a mini poncho completed - so I either need to get more or try with something else. Actually while I don't like working with that yarn as it tends to split easily, I have to admit it feels good and has a nice drape to it. The pattern is quite forgiving as it can easily be ripped back when I find a mistake. I am going to attempt this one as well. My daughter wants one, so why not try. I had printed this from the same site. There are others on the same site that are pretty cute for little ones. "Kristen" wrote in message ...
