Hi Jenny! :o) I still see a LOT of females (young and not so very young)
wearing ponchos around here. Can I ask you where you found your pattern for
one, or do you make up your own pattern? Matthew has a very nice
girlfriend and she has a tiny little girl (17 months old but she looks too
tiny to be up and walking, which she is definitely), so I might consider
making one for one or both of them for next Christmas. Oh yes, they are
talking about being together forever. ;o) Not only that, the tiny one
calls Matthew "Daddy" when he is around her... he just grins as he is very
parental and protective of her..
*hugs*

Gemini Ponchos you can make in a zilion ways ,,, start with a enough
stitiches for the head to come through [ make it a number that divides
into 4 ,, put a marker in every `corner ,, now knit [or purl or make
pattern ] every second row and add 2 stitches on both sides of each
marker every second row/round , till it is long enough ,,, mirjam
this is one way ,,,

Thank you, Mirjam! I have saved your description for future reference. :o)
I do have a couple of patterns in books, and I know there are a lot online
as well (in fact I just found a crocheted one for a baby today that I think
is adorable & will likely try that one)... I just find it interesting to see
what sort of patterns other people like to use. You know, the tried and
true ones. ;o) I am definitely adding your description to my list though.
Thank you again.
*hugs*
