Aren't they cute? :yes

The company actually e-mailed me to tell say they had put two new poncho patterns on their site. How cool is that? I didn't even have to stumble across/search for them!

Awesome! :clap I love the blue one! If I hadn't just visited my LYS :help , I would put that as a priority project! :)

[Deb]

I'm doing the pink one! I have some yarn that said, "Hey! I NEED to BE that poncho!" :))

Pesky yarn! :wink

Thanks for the linky Rachel! How cool that they emailed it to you.

[RachelG]

Pesky yarn, indeed! :D!

Would you mind telling me if it turns out and what yarn you used? I had somebody ask me on another board if I thought it would work better with sport weight or worsted, and of course I had no idea...being a threadie. :p

Will do. I am using boucle, some jiffy and woolease. An experiment ~ kind of *outside* my usual box. :))

So far... so good.

[RachelG]

Excuse my ignorance... :blush ...are those worsted 4-ply? Thanks.

[Deb]

The woolease is 4-ply worsted weight. The other yarns are more thick... bulky even. Like I said, I am doing something outside the box for me... :( so I might defer to someone a little bit more knowledgable in the YARN department. :fc Anyone???

All I know is that it's working up really well. :)) I use an H hook for the bulky yarns.. and an I hook for the woolease. It works. :p

[RachelG]

I'm glad it's working! :)

How do you print out these poncho patterns?? I even changed the print style to landscape and I still could't get it all. Probably something very simple that I don't know about.
Thanks for your help.

Whenever I have problems printing a pattern out and getting it to come out well enough to make sense I just copy and paste it into MS Word and print from there. I can make the fonts bigger, bold important stuff, make adequate spaces between each round/row and just make it easier for me to read in general =)

[RachelG]

I agree with Barbara. That's what I do. Sometimes it's the only way.

Incidentally, somebody e-mailed me this morning asking this very same question. (They seem to think all of the patterns on my site are mine, but I only link to them!)
