I love that ponchos are back in style - they're so fun to wear and make such interesting knitting projects! Some are rectangles, some are diamond shaped, some are knit in the round and some in pieces. So many neat ideas for such a simple garment. I hope you all got to watch as Bonne Marie designed her Mini-Chic Poncho during the ponch-o-long. Knitty editor, Amy, also just came up with a great poncho design of her own. My absolute favorite new poncho pattern though is FoKnits' sheer poncho (if that pattern had been available back in September...). And did you see that there's now a Poncho Crochetalong? Look what we've started!

Yes, the poncho craze is catching on. But now that I've finished two, count 'em two, ponchos (mine and mom's) and helped my advanced beginner's knitting class make Melissa's Cape Mod poncho (from Stich n Bitch), I think it's time to call it a knit-along and move on. Thanks to everyone for knitting along. I had so much fun!

ponchos!
