When I posted yesterday, I'd forgotten the ponchos I knitted for Christmas. Then late last night I got a mail from Suzanne at Heron Farm to ask me to lunch, so I was hoping I could get some pictures of the girls wearing their ponchos. Didn't have to worry too much - apparently they've hardly been taken off and also double as dressing-gowns. Here are Fiona (R, age 7) and Lorna (L, age 4) modelling their very bright items. I hand-dyed some Velvet Touch back in August for the main space-dyed part of this, and there's some novelty yarn and acrylic in there. Very good fun to knit and I have some lovely hand-made thankyou cards to bring home.
And here's the obligatory cat pic - this is Fiona with Smudge (age 9 weeks)...

You said they were bright - you weren't kidding!! Gorgeous though.
love the ponchos liz, what pattern did you use?

I made the pattern up, but I kept a copy of what I did - if you'd like stitch/row counts for the different ages, let me know. They're both knitted as two rectangles, and I guessed the sizes from various patterns on the Web. Lorna's poncho (the smaller one) works better because it's not falling off her shoulders... but Fiona doesn't seem to mind that...
