	kupieedoll2@yahoo.om January 26, 2008 02:17 PM PST Dot i was looking for a hat pattern for my hubby and came across your Eastwood hat. I just love it and I know my hubby will. He's a very picky guy when it comes to crochet stuff. I know this is one he will proudly wear! It's just his style!


	Lois September 23, 2007 07:14 PM PDT Thank you so much my grandson ask me for a poncho this is perfect


	Gloria Patterson April 20, 2007 01:47 PM PDT I love this pattern! I have some Mexicali type yarn with lots of bright colors and some black yarn. I think it will look great on me! Gracias, Gloria


	Dot August 31, 2005 11:59 AM PDT You're welcome...I think. lol I'm glad to know there are some guys out there that actually might wear this. I'd sure love to see pictures if and when you do make this for them.


	Mouse August 31, 2005 12:05 AM PDT Hmmm... don't know whether to say thanks or grrr... have four demands for this from male relatives... lol!


	Dot March 27, 2005 11:50 AM PST Thank you very much, Nelly!


	Nelly March 27, 2005 11:27 AM PST Omygosh Dot I really like it


	Dot March 18, 2005 12:49 PM PST Thank you, Tina. I wish you could have made it for him for his school theme day, that would have been great. I'm glad your middle son is getting one though. I'd love to see it in the red with the black stripe. I bet it's going to be beautiful.


	Tina March 18, 2005 09:34 AM PST Hi Dot- My son is having a Theme Celebration in school today; it's Mexico. I said, "I wish you would have told me two weeks ago, I could have made you a Clint Eastwood poncho", then I showed him this page on your site. He said "Can you make it by tomorrow?" LOL!! I am making one for the middle son, now, though. He wants it in red, with a black stripe through the middle "and that's all". :) Thank you for sharing your wonderful designs, you are so talented. Maybe someday when my kids are older I will have time to think of some more designs, too. Tina


	Dot March 6, 2005 05:10 PM PST You're welcome. What a nice employee you are making that for your boss. Are you looking for a raise? lol


	Cheryl from NJ March 6, 2005 02:45 PM PST Thanks for clarifying. I thought it was a solid color! Duh on me! LOL I am making this for my boss and he saw the pic and said, "hey, I like that. So I guess it's back to the store!!! :) Happy Crocheting and Thanks again


	Dot March 6, 2005 02:41 PM PST Hi Cheryl, Holly Berry is an ombre yarn. The hunter green is solid and the buff is solid, but the Holly Berry is a multicolored yarn. You can use any colors you want. You can follow my striping patterns or you can make it all solid, it's totally up to you. The poncho pictured is exactly as you see it. It's done in green, black, holly berry and buff stripes. I hope I answered your question. If not, let me know and I'll try it again. I'm anxious to see how yours turns out.


	Cheryl March 6, 2005 02:34 PM PST Hi, I am working on this(on row 13 now) as we speak, but I am a little confused. The part where the multicolors are, is that individual stitches, or is that an ombre yarn??? The pattern doesn't seem clear on that. Is this a solid color garment, or is it exactly as the picture shows?? HELP! Thanks.


	Dot March 2, 2005 06:58 PM PST Thank you, Andrea. No, I haven't done any like this for babies, but I bet it would be cute. Thanks for the idea.


	Andrea March 2, 2005 06:47 PM PST Dot, this is a fun pattern. Have you ever worked up something like this for an infant/toddler boy? Seems like it would be cute for them too. Love all your patterns, thanks for sharing your talents.


	Dot February 13, 2005 04:42 PM PST I got the idea for this poncho when you asked me about making something for Amy to keep her warm. I told you to make an afghan and work a slit in the center of it. Remember? After that I just had to try it myself. As for all the other designs, I don't know where they're coming from. Once I learned to make a hat, all hats are basically the same. I just put different stitches together. I'm ALWAYS surprised at what comes off my hook. Sometimes while I'm making one hat, another one will come to mind. I don't think I'm any more talented than you, I just have way more time to work on crocheting than you do. I hope you share a picture of your Eastwoodly Poncho when you finish it. Love you bunches.


	Jeannie February 13, 2005 04:31 PM PST Sis, where do you keep coming up with all these beautiful ideas? I am so impressed that you are designing crochet apparel - and not just funky stuff, but really cool fashions. I'm going to make this poncho and send it to Amy for one of her friends. You are the talented one in our family, obviously!


	Dot February 11, 2005 06:55 PM PST You're welcome, Susan, I enjoy sharing my patterns with you. I hope your husband enjoys his new poncho.


	Susan February 11, 2005 04:21 PM PST I think I'll try making this out of a wool blend yarn. It would make a great poncho to keep around for camping trips and trips to the mountains or the beach. I wouldn't mind having one myself. But I think I will make it for my husband. Thanks for sharing your creativity, Dot!


	Dot January 23, 2005 04:03 PM PST Thank you, Nelly. That's what Mom always says when she doesn't really want to tell me she just plain ole doesn't like it. lol


	Nelly January 23, 2005 12:50 PM PST Interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


	Dot January 21, 2005 09:49 PM PST lol, Jewels, I'll have to see about making him his own. Thanks for the idea.


	Jewels January 21, 2005 05:26 PM PST I am so TOTALLY having visions of Spike in a little miniature Eastwoodly poncho!! He'd be the coolest looking canine around! Up for the challenge Spike? LOL I think a lot of university students would like this too..a poncho or napping after study wear!


	Dot January 20, 2005 11:25 PM PST You're welcome, Cheryl. I'd love to see your poncho and hat, too when you finish it. I'm glad you liked it.


	Cheryl From Canada January 20, 2005 10:37 PM PST Hi dot I just finished the poncho and it turned out great can't wait to make the hat thankyou so much for the great patterns


	Dot January 20, 2005 05:59 AM PST Why, thank you, Jackie. Let me know how this works out for you. I hope your son likes it.


	Jackie January 20, 2005 01:32 AM PST You're awesome! I love all your patterns, and this is a true keeper! I was hoping to find a masculine poncho for my tween-age son! Can't wait to try it out!!!!!!!!


	Dot January 17, 2005 03:14 PM PST You're welcome, Yvonne. I'm glad you like it.
