Cathy you could probably sc it together if you want. It's realy not that much to sew together though (trust me I've done a lot of sewing pieces together).

 

cherrypicker Love the 2 ponchoes. I love the first one most, that is one of my favorite verigated yarns.

 

I'm wearing mine today (it was a bit cool) and it fits great. If it was colder I would like it longer, but this works out great. Maybe if I wanted a warmer one I could do a larger hook and 2 strands of RH or even a thicker yarn.

Cherrypicker, now that I see yours, I am going to pull those fringes out and do an edging like you did!! It's fabulous!! Really gives that extra something special to it.

 

Thanks for sharing!

*blush* thanks girls! I did some fringe but decided it was a waste of yarn! I don't know why but it just did not look right when I did it so i did the fluffy edge instead!

I just wish I could get red heart yarn here in the uk, I was lucky enough to recieve this yarn from a friend in the USA...

I've had this one done for my little niece for a few weeks, just now took a picture. Hope you like it. Thanks for looking!

Thanks Debbi - she looks so cute in it. I think I might make myself one too, but I'm working on a shawl for my mom right now. Take care.

I would like to join in as well. This will be my first CAL. I am going to use some Caron Simply Soft in Heather Grey.

 

Thanks

Hi Amanda. I think that will be really pretty. I think I will be using Caron Simply Soft for mine as well, but not sure what color yet. I'll be watching for your pix. Take care.

Hi stitchgirl. I changed my mind after finishing one and half rectangle. Since I started all over again, it took a little longer than planned. I could not get the gauge right for some reason. I switched to Caron Glimmer yarn in white. Here it is without the trim:

 

 

and here it is with the Lion Fun Fur Trim:

 

 

I used only one color since that's all I had.

 

I am using the Caron in another shawl. I found the free pattern on the Caron Website.

Your poncho is really pretty. Actually, and I don't know why, but I had some problems with gauge too. But I do like the pattern.

[Debbi-a1]

Amanda, I like your poncho! I didn't really check mine against the gauge, just made it.
