It is my belief that ponchos are a conspiracy by the yarn industry to sell more yarn. The poncho is simply an afghan for wearing, or, in the alternative, a square.

I agree with peth, though, shawls just look better on anyone.

Ponchos are wrong.

Hey!! That's my poncho pattern on the dog!!!! Why did you link Mariko's page and send all all your traffic there?! Not fair! :(

You would not believe how many hits the poncho pages get. The hit rates are dropping a bit, so the trend may be fading.

Ponchos should be illegal.

At Lucia's prompting, I have decided to knit Macy a drop cross doggy poncho.

I happen to like the one called "proof."

Send me a photo, or a trackback.

In fact, we should both trackback so we can each drive our zillions of visitors to the other sites.

As a child of the '70s, I wore a poncho...when I was a child. So, I feel very deeply for these children, especially the one floating in the air. Perhaps my memory fails me, but I don't recall my poncho being quite so ugly as these.

Thanks for taking a photo of something that took me a long time to do, and turning it into a joke. You fucking bitch. I hope you miscarry.

It's not my fault you chose to spend a long time knitting something ugly like a poncho. Maybe you should have knitted something pretty that I couldn't turn into a joke.

Also, I'm a boy and cannot miscarry.

I am a bitch, though

You do seem to choose to be an asshat to people you don't even know. That's your choice. Sorry you can't miscarry, but maybe the person carrying that baby you're uncleing for can.

Dear Anonymous:

It is the considered opinion of the TotallyKnitting Universe (TM) that all ponchos suck, even yours. However, I would never wish a miscarriage on even the most ardent poncho knitter. Which means, of course, that the asshat belongs to you.

Very truly yours,

Sooner

Even Eunice wouldn't wish a miscarriage on anyone. Even some random blogger who doesn't care that you made a LAME square with a hole in it.

Love,
