I was finally finished with all four..(at least I thought I was) when I realized I made a mistake in one. I don't mind doing it over I have patience when it comes to my crafts. But what I want to know is..does anyone know where I can get a free pattern for a poncho with only two sides?

Thanks a bunch; ▶ Reply to This

Try the websites for any of the run of the mill yarn sites like www.caron.com, www.bernat.com, www.lionbrand.com. Also put what I write in the brackets in your Google search bar and hit return: [free: poncho pattern]... that will likely give you more patterns than you'll ever want. :-)

If that doesn't do it, let us know... I'm sure someone has other ideas and responses.; ▶ Reply to This

Besides, doing the research like that, I sometimes stumble across something I didn't know I was looking for! LOL!

You're welcome, btw. :-); ▶ Reply to This

Of course, if you're looking for a specific book, you can do a search for that. If you just want to browse the entire selection, I don't see how to do it. --Peggy; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Elianastar on January 26, 2009 at 4:07pm: huh? Are we talking ponchos or Facebook? I was just struggling with Facebook so my mind is a little scattered. I've also got "scared bunny eyes" [just back from opthamologist and both eyes are dilated] so its hard for me to see and for some reason, dilating my eyes also seems to "dilate" my brain! LOLOL! [Probably shouldn't even BE on the computer, but I started the KP/Facebook thing before I left and wasn't able to finish up before I had to leave for my appt]

I've got short term memory issues and I make things for others in my family that will never remember if they can put something in the washer or dryer or not unless it is literally written in the garment

You will find garment care & size labels on namemaker.com; ▶ Reply to This

Any chance this could be a product we could someday get from KnitPicks?; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Elianastar on February 1, 2009 at 3:19pm: Thanks for the link, but they don't offer the label I need most: Hand Wash/Dry Flat. This is the label that is most critical for gifts, especially. I avoid making anything for other people if they can't just toss it in the washer and dryer and not think about it.... very few people seem to DO hand wash anymore, and some people don't even seem to know HOW.

Anyway... thank you for trying! I did find OTHER stuff at the site I will use in the future, and they do have size labels and other care labels I could use.

KP: Is there any way you could find a supplier to create or provide these for your yarns that we could purchase with our yarn? I have no idea how involved such a request might be, but it would save gifts and I would be more willing to consider gifting hand wash projects if I could tag them with sewn in care labels.; ▶ Reply to This
