	froydis September 29, 2005 02:16 AM PDT hi Janice! Im the creator of the moon song and denim sunburst ponchos, and you can get them at my site. hope that helps!


	janice July 12, 2005 02:48 PM PDT I am looking for a pattern of the moon song poncho and denim sunbrust poncho. do any one have these. thanks


	Dot July 2, 2005 03:40 PM PDT Hi Rachel, you're right, I thought the same thing when I hung it up and got a good look at it.


	Rachel July 2, 2005 03:17 PM PDT I was just thinking that if the pattern would be upside down it would look like (fir?) trees. Nice poncho, but I'm way too busy to make it now...


	Dot July 1, 2005 01:40 PM PDT Hi Michelle, yes, you need to dc in each of the dc's in the round and 2 dc in each of the ch-2 spaces. Thanks for catching that. I've corrected this round on the pattern.


	Michelle June 30, 2005 10:00 PM PDT I have a question about row 7. After I dc in the ch2 space, should I dc in the next 2 stitches instead of in just the next stitch?


	Dot June 29, 2005 12:08 AM PDT Thank you, Michelle! That's such a nice compliment! I hope you enjoy the patterns.


	Michelle June 28, 2005 08:03 PM PDT I love your patterns, Dot. I haven't found any than make up as easily or look as beautiful as yours.


	Dot June 26, 2005 09:39 AM PDT Hi Cheryl, Hmmm, depends on how much larger you want to make it. You could just use a larger hook or you could make a longer starting chain, keep it an even number and be sure when you get to round 8 you have a number of stitches divisible by 8, so the pattern stitch will work right. If you make a longer starting chain, you might need to make more decreases around the neck edge to get it to fit right. I want to think this poncho really will work for a 3x too, but since I'm a 2x, I can only vouch for what fits me.


	Dot June 26, 2005 09:21 AM PDT Hi Misfit, You're welcome, and thank you again for testing the pattern for me. You're the best!


	Cheryl June 26, 2005 04:13 AM PDT Hi Dot, nice to see your pattern is up and ready now. Could you give me some suggestions on how to make it bigger than a 2X. Thanks for sharing!


	Misfit June 26, 2005 12:14 AM PDT Nice to see your pattern up again! And thanks for the mention, too!


	Dot June 23, 2005 12:26 PM PDT Thanks, Cheryl. I hope to have this pattern back up in a day or 2.


	Cheryl June 23, 2005 03:51 AM PDT Dot, can't wait for this poncho to be posted again. It is so pretty. I have made several of your hat patterns and I just love them. Thanks for sharing.


	Dot June 21, 2005 12:24 PM PDT Thanks Sylvia, I can't wait to see it when you're done.


	Sylvia June 21, 2005 11:44 AM PDT wow this is a great pattern, I am definately going to use it for my next project, already have the perfect yarn lined up :)
