Picture Gallery — Ponchos, Capes, & Capelets
Nancy Simms knit this glorious poncho, showing off her poncho & sharing a laugh with the webmaster, who is an old friend (and former prom-date) from high school.
Barb was shy about modeling her poncho, worked in glorious fall colors, but it is gorgeous none-the-less.
Stacy crocheted an absolutely magnificent, purple poncho!
Heidi continues to knit at an alarming rate, this time knitting herself a wonderful, black cape. Once again, she completes her outfit with the perfect accessories.
Linda knit this fantastic capelet from Noro Silk Garden and Trendsetter Aura.
Janice is the latest to finish a three-point poncho. She knit a variation of the pattern by working in yarn in multiple colors/textures (see the close-up at the right).
Kate knit this fantastic shawl from a Pattern from Woolly Thoughts.
At the left, we see Matthew's sister modeling the "Three Points Poncho" he knit for her birthday (using Cascade 220). At the right, Tami is modeling her poncho (same pattern) knit from Wool in the Woods.
Nikki was kind enough to model the Poncho Matthew knit for someone special for the holidays this year. Janice has asked for the Pattern, so it may show up at the shop at some point.
Janice sure is happy about how nicely her Peacock Poncho worked out.
Tina knit the 3 Point Poncho in Great Adirondack's Silk Noil. All it took was one hank!
Sheri did a fantastic job knitting this poncho for her daughter, who was not around to model it for us. Luckily, Nicky was more than willing to model the poncho, proving just how versatile ponchos are in terms of fit, seeing that a college student is wearing a poncho designed and knit for a small child. Ponchos fit everyone!
Once again, Tami was wearing the right color to model for us. Doesn't she look fantastic in this poncho that Sheri's mom crocheted?
Karen is modeling Janice's poncho on the left, because she was wearing the right colors that day. Another day, Janice was wearing the right colors, so we were able to get a picture of her in her own poncho.
Tami loves the capelet that Janice made. The pattern is available from http://www.interweave.com/knits/.
Adrienne created this fantastic poncho based on a sketch on a napkin from Janice. Ponchos are really hot right now, so bring in your favorite napkin so Janice can show how simple it is. FYI, the scarf is a separate piece. Adrienne chose Ecological wool, which we sometimes call economical wool because the yardage seems never ending -- and Adrienne has enough for a pullover sweater.
The following few pictures show the same two ponchos on several different models with different body types and figures to show just how great a poncho can look on everyone!
On the left, Deana is wearing the Three Point Poncho with the point in the front and the flat edge in back. On the right, Deana is wearing the flat edge in front and the point in back.
On the left, Kim is wearing the Three Point Poncho with the point in front and the flat edge in back. On the right, she is wearing the flat edge in front and the point in back.
