Is that infamous poncho really attractive?!
I think it's wonderful that Martha wore the gal's gift poncho in
public, but it doesn't seem to me like a garment she would ordinarily wear. Am I the only one who thought it was ugly? Martha seems to be the only one who has not come out with a pattern so far. Also, none of the pictures I've seen of her since have shown her wearing the thing. Well, each to her own and a lot of people seem to be enjoying this "rage". But I have to admit, I'm not fond of poncho's of any kind. JMO Hazel |

I made such a similar poncho before Martha=B4s story and hated every=20 single minute working on it. It was so booooring... It=B4s a little bit as the story of Samantha... something... infamous=20 shawl. Everyone wanted one, even if it looked awful and cheap. Anyway, since Martha is one of the lucky people looking good even is a=20 sack with a hole for the head and two for the arms (good for her!), the=20 ugly poncho got a stylish model and hence the success. I think it was a very accurate marketing stategy on her part. Also the=20 color, grey (usch!) was very appropriate for the situation and taking=20 people on her side. As sonn as I saw the scene on CNN I tought: ok,=20 let=B4s the poncho story begin LOL Anyway, since many people enjoys making it, it=B4s a "good thing", Martha= =20 or not :-) Bye, Anna Maria |

Oh it isn't that bad!
When I first saw it on TV, it looked bluer and it did go well with her skinny jeans in that light. It draped well when you saw a full body shot in motion. After that, the still shots were a little disappointing. I know better than to think it would look good on me, though. Even when I was at my skinniest in college, I was still too short to look good in most ponchos. Now I'd look like an old sofa with a blanket thrown over it to hide the stains!

In the photo's I saw it was the color of an old grease rag. As for the downloads of the pattern... I did that, too, just out of curiosity but without any intention of making it. Mostly I wanted a look at the edging. I use crocheted edgings on a lot of my woven things and am always on the lookout for new patterns. Well, I just wondered if so many people really did find it attractive or of it was just the celebrity thing. Hazel www.hazelroselooms.com/ blog... http://www.hazelroselooms.com/workbook/? |

I usually get my news from NPR radio every morning, so I didn't see
Martha's "coming out". But I just found my old Newsweek in the recycling pile, and I am wondering about that poncho. There is a photo of her and her daughter and others. Looks like she is leaving the prison, possibly. No make-up, hair not set (nor even brushed). She has on a dark olive pantsuit, and then it looks like a shawl or a wide scarf draped over her shoulders. It is grey with horizontal stripes on it of the same color, i.e. two different stitches. Is that the poncho everyone is talking about? It is definitely not a poncho (front is open) in that photo. Just curious. Kira |

Kira,
My local news website just happened to have this on the front page this morning. There is a picture in the article (which happens to be about how people always want to buy what the stars are wearing): http://www.boston.com/yourlife/fashi...th_conviction/ LauraJ "Kira Dirlik" !! wrote in message ...
