My poncho!  

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I am seeing that poncho everywhere! I must've seen it at least 3 times on different t.v. shows (one of them was Jessica Simpson's sister, she was wearing it for a photo shoot for her album). But then today, I went to Macy's and saw a whole bunch of different ponchos that were very similar and one that was absolutely identical with the dropstitch and everything! Only I liked the yarn I used much much better.
And guess how much it was selling for?............$160!!!!!! And their yarn looked pretty darn cheap. Plus I'm sure that poncho was machine knit. I couldn't believe the price!
And here I was wondering if $75 was way too much to ask for mine (I figured cost of yarn plus about $10 an hour would be a fair price).

I don't mean to be posting on my own thread but look what I just found..... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...832594901&rd=1
There are a lot of ponchos listed on Ebay. And all are definitely cheaper than the Macy's one I saw today.

Here's the thread with the pattern. http://www.mothering.com/discussions...d.php?t=176232
There were two other threads as well with pics of ponchos made from this pattern by a couple of MDC ladies.
