I'm so glad you are sewing too as it is a truly an incredible feeling to make things for oneself. This poncho was not a difficult make. You could easily make one for yourself, and if you do, please send me a photo, I'd love to see. Thank you Cr!

I adore your poncho too. A beautiful piece and so much more amazing that you sewed it yourself. I'm just beginning to sew and love stopping by to see what you've done.

Crochet would be a great place to start as then you won't have to worry about dropping stitches and such. There are many lovely and free patterns on ravelry... and ravelry is also a great 'help' forum too. Thank you!

Oh Barbara, we would have such fun learning new things from each other, wouldn't we?! Thank you!

Now, now Mama Pea, you sound quite warm and cozy for your Minnesota crazy weather... and no you are not a 'frump'! Just wait until your warmer weather kicks in, as surely it should at some point?!, and you can make a couple of sleeveless tops to wear while working out in your gorgeous gardens. That's the way I'm looking at my clothes - they are for my 'daily life', to be 'lived' in. Thank you ever so much for your oh-so-kind compliment!

You are alleviating some of my fears of being so slow as it seemed a scarf should knit up more quickly. To be fair, it was picked up and put down quite a bit. Great point about the poncho button - as it did give the flap's shape a 'purpose'! Thank you Sarah Liz!

Beautiful scarf and yes the large button makes a statement! Perfect for this strange weather for spring time. I would love to knit or even crochet, thinking this will next on my list to learn. Probably crochet, since I know a basic stitch.

Well, being as how I can't knit at all, I have nothing to say about your speed. But I will say that scarf is lovely. Sure wish we could meet and you could give me lessons :)

The simple button on the poncho pocket sets it off like I can't believe! It's true that it really is "the little things." Love, love, love that scarf, too.

Now I'd like you to stop posting all the glamorous pictures modeling the clothing you've made. I look down at my own outfit and give a big sigh. For instance, what do I have on right now? Loose (but comfy) cordouroy slacks, a turtleneck my husband wore with a sportcoat for teaching waaaay back in the 80s when that sort of thing was the style, and a zip up the front hooded sweatshirt. You look like a model straight out of a magazine and in comparison I am a frump. (An acquaintance from years ago, when caught in one of her at-home outifits, would say, "I'm not trying to make a fashion statement here") Guess I'll just keep using that excuse and marveling at your lovely outfits! (Yes, I'm jealous, why do you ask?) ;o)

I don't think you are a slow knitter at all - it's only a few weeks since February. The buttons look super and make the flap look more as if the shape had a purpose to it./
