	Bobbie May 26, 2006 07:31 PM PDT I must say your design is so nice but it does look complicated to do. I hope to try it in the near future so can I inquire if and when I have any difficulty? barbara-ann77@ hotmail.com.


	Dot March 19, 2006 05:08 AM PST Hi Sharon, Thanks, glad you like it. Sorry I can't tell you how to make it a cape. I don't know.


	Sharon March 8, 2006 02:13 PM PST Greetings! Love the poncho, could you tell me how to make it a cape! Enjoy The Day!


	Dot October 4, 2005 05:15 PM PDT Hi Sabrina, when it says to "sk 2 dc" it means to skip over the next 2 double crochet stitches. when it says to "sk sc and 2 dc" it means to skip over the next single crochet and the next 2 double crochets, 3 stitches all together. I'm glad you like my patterns. Hope you enjoy this one.


	Sabrina October 4, 2005 04:55 PM PDT Hi Dot! I'm just reading over your instructions and I'm a bit confused. What does it mean to "sk 2 dc"? Like as in skip over two chains of the double crochet? Thanks for your time~ I adore your poncho patterns and hope to start on this particular poncho as soon as possible!


	Dot September 12, 2005 07:23 PM PDT You're welcome, Jen. I can't wait to see how your scarf turns out.


	Jen September 12, 2005 05:40 PM PDT Dot, I CAN'T WAIT to start. I took a baby blue cotton turtleneck sweater from banana republic that I had for several years. It was starting to pull and stretch out and look dumpy. I unravelled it and now I have tons of this pretty 100% cotton yarn! I'm going to take one of the smaller balls and test it out and see how it looks until I get the hang of it. I will DEF let you know how it works out! Thanks for your quick reply! ~Jen


	Dot September 12, 2005 11:01 AM PDT Thanks Jen. I loved this pattern stitch too. The trellis pattern is worked in multiples of 16, so just be sure you make a chain that is divisible by 16, plus however many you need for your turning chain. Then follow the instructions in the repeat rows, 12 thru 15. (I think) If you try it let me know how it turns out.


	Jen September 12, 2005 10:36 AM PDT Dot, I LOVE this pattern. I'm not a big poncho person, but I would like to turn this pattern into a scarf. Any suggestions? ~Jen


	Dot September 6, 2005 04:01 PM PDT I'm glad you figured it out, Laura. Looking at the instructions now, I can't for the life of me figure out what made me skip 2 that round instead of 3, but apparently I needed to do it to get the numbers to work out. I hope the rest of the poncho goes smoothly for you. This one is a little tricky trying to get those diamonds to line up right. I can't wait to see it when you're done. Hope you'll share a picture with your daughter modeling it. (((hugs)))


	Laura September 6, 2005 01:43 PM PDT ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I think I just figured it out!! DuHHHHH Do I feel silly!!!! I see that in Round 6 you only sk 2 sts, not the 3 as in the previous rounds. DUHHHH ON ME!!! Sooooooo sorry for bothering you! (blushing bright red I am!!!!) I need to pay closer attention :) (a good lesson for me!!!) Thanks for your help! I will definitely post when I get the poncho finished! My daughter will love it :) HUGS, Laura


	Laura September 6, 2005 01:37 PM PDT Hi Dot, Well, I have been counting and recounting to see where I've messed up. Here's what I have. I have the same thing up to round 6 I believe. On round 6, I have 32 ch3 spaces, instead of 42. When I have more time tonight, I will start it over with some regular yarn and see if I can get my stitches to match up with yours, then hopefully I can fix it on what i have started with the symphony yarn. Thanks for the speedy response!! I am determined to figure it out :) Hugs, Laura


	Dot September 6, 2005 12:33 PM PDT Hi Laura, I haven't had anyone else report a problem. You might be the only one trying it though. If your stitch count is right up through round 8, then you should be getting 265 scs in round 9. Did you have 53 chain 3 spaces at the end of round 8? If you did, then just make sure your putting 5 scs in each chain 3 space, and it should come out right. Sorry you're having problems with it. Let me know how you're doing. You're daughter is going to be beautiful in her new poncho. I know she's all excited to have you making it for her. I'm glad you like my patterns, I enjoy sharing them with you. I'm looking forward to hearing how this turns out.


	Laura September 6, 2005 11:34 AM PDT Hi Dot, I am working on this pattern, the Diamond and Trellis poncho. I am having some trouble with the count. I am done with row 9 and I have 200 single crochets, not the 265 that I should have. I have double checked my work, and I cannot see where I have messed up. Has anyone else had this problem? Or is it just me?? I am using RedHeart Symphony yarn which is so fuzzy, so I might be missing something somewhere. I love the look of the poncho and my daughter is eagerly awaiting for it!! Thanks for sharing all of your patterns, they are all very pretty! Hugs, Laura


	Dot August 20, 2005 01:18 AM PDT Hi Georgia, thank you. I love trying new stitches and it's really fun when they turn into something as pretty as this. I hope you enjoy the pattern.


	Georgia August 20, 2005 12:28 AM PDT Dot, The Diamond Trellis Poncho is so beautiful. I am not familiar with this stitch and I think it is so gorgeous. You know, you really are clever. You are teaching so many of us how to crochet by introducing these lovely stitches and techniques. Thank you.


	Dot August 15, 2005 06:34 PM PDT Thank you, Vicki, I'm glad you like my patterns.


	Vicki Tillett August 15, 2005 05:47 PM PDT Dot You continue to amaze me! Your designs are all so beautiful and you just keep coming up with more. This is just so pretty! Please don't ever stop. :o)


	Dot August 15, 2005 01:18 PM PDT Sorry Vims, don't you know ufo's are meant to grow and not decrease? lol Glad you like the pattern, I can't wait to see your version of it when you're done.


	Dot August 15, 2005 01:16 PM PDT Hi Roxie, glad you like the poncho. Bows and Arrows is one of my favorites, I'm sure your mom's friend will really love hers. It was so nice of you to make it for her.


	Vims August 14, 2005 11:03 PM PDT Its been done again!!! Just when I thought I could get my ufo's in order lol!!! Like a I need an excuse:) Thanks for an awesome pattern Dot! I have it printed to start soon!!!


	roxie in oh August 14, 2005 10:39 PM PDT Dot, you've done it again. but I don't know when I will get the time to do all these wonderful things you design. just finished the bows and arrows poncho for my mom to give to a friend, used the yarn I bought for me so mom is replacing it with enough for my poncho and a hat (simply soft white) thank you thank you for these wonderful ponchos roxie in oh
