Dot,I got a deal on some yarn and for 2 weeks I tried to find a poncho pattern. Than I was lucky and found yours. I said to myself what a beautiful poncho I wish I could make it. I printed the pattern out. And I started crocheting and the way you wrote the pattern I learned new stitches and I didn't give up. I wish I could send you a picture. I thank you for a beautiful poncho, That I can't believe I made. Your a great teacher and designer. Thanks for sharing. marie:cheer
