Thanks so much for sharing your patterns! I am also making 3 ponchos for 2 - 4 year olds and a 10 year old. I can hardly wait to get started. Happy Crocheting! Kathy Kathy


	Dot April 3, 2006 12:13 AM PDT Hi coolmomma. Thank you, I'm glad you find my patterns easy to follow.

	Dot March 17, 2006 01:32 PM PST Hi Aloha, I am honored that you have chosen this pattern for your 6th great-grandchild. She'll look adorable in it. I hope you enjoy my patterns.


	Name Aloha March 17, 2006 01:25 PM PST Learned to crochet when 9 years old; now 70. Have haunted the stores and searched my archives (old, very old, and new) for pattern exactly like the Baby Bows & Arrows Poncho. My search was futile until I stumbled upon your website. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! Hope you will keep up the good work. PS: This poncho will be for my 6th great-grandchild.


	Dot February 28, 2006 02:44 PM PST Hi Sona, I'm so glad you took a chance on this pattern. It's so much easier than it looks and really is beautiful when done.


	SONA February 28, 2006 02:30 PM PST hi Dot, i hv been searching for few baby poncho patterns for a while. This pattern was way below my list(it looked quite difficult:)), but it turned out to be so cute and easy 2!!! thanks a lot for sharing.


	Dot February 24, 2006 04:16 PM PST Hi Joey, I made this pattern. I left that statement on the pattern because I haven't heard from anyone else who's made it.


	Joey February 24, 2006 01:59 PM PST Has anyone made this poncho? It says this pattern is untested.


	Dot October 7, 2005 03:45 PM PDT Hi Sonja, you're welcome. I hope this turns out great on your first try. Happy hookin'.


	Sonja October 7, 2005 09:55 AM PDT Can't wait to try this for my DGD. My first try is usually the worst and each time gets better. This will make a nice item for the little girls in need here in Ga. Thanks for sharing. Love, Sonja


	Dot September 28, 2005 04:32 AM PDT thanks pat.


	Name Pat Boyd September 28, 2005 02:29 AM PDT Awwwwww so cute! Pat B


	Dot September 23, 2005 02:39 PM PDT Hi Linda, I'm glad you like my patterns. I had (have) the same problem with the baby coordinates, and unfortunately, I don't have any tips for using it. You can substitute a 3 ply sport weight yarn, like Bernat Softee Baby, and it should work just fine.


	Linda September 23, 2005 01:27 PM PDT This is so cute! I'm trying to make it now, but I'm having trouble crocheting with the Bernat Coordinates yarn -- it's so textured, I can't see what I'm doing! Any suggestions? Thanks for all the great patterns. I'm running out of printer paper just printing them!


	Dot September 21, 2005 09:42 AM PDT Hi Diana, Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a message. I hope you enjoy the pattern.


	diana September 21, 2005 01:02 AM PDT well i prefer that it has a special instraction to do better me job with the poncho and i would like see more draws abot that with love diana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

	Dot September 20, 2005 10:07 PM PDT Thank you, Angie, I'm glad you like it.
