Wow, your detailed instructions make this gorgeous poncho look like a project that even a novice like me can make! I think I’ll practice some of the beautiful stitches you use in this poncho so that I can get familiar with them before actually trying the real poncho! It is too irresistible not to try! ❤️

[@stephaniecanales1148]

Ms. Bonnie. I've just completed my first panel. I love this design. It is tough on the fingers on rows 2 and 3 for sure but for the most part I was fine. I did enjoy the large honeycomb. This was my first time with that and the cable stitch. I have done the Celtic weave on another one of your designs. I believe it was the sports poncho, so that was the easy part for me. I dont have blocking boards but I did mark spots on my garage door and just pinned it with thumbtacks and it's works for now. I will continue with the second panel and now I cant wait to join the 2 panels together ❤ I love your designs and appreciate you so much. 🥰 Thank you thank you!!!! May you have a blessed day today and everyday.🙏

[@sonne1886]

Liebe Bonny, dieser Poncho ist so bezaubernd ❤ Vielen lieben Dank für deine Arbeit ich bin begeistert ❤ Viele liebe Grüße aus der Schweiz Sonja

[@valferguson8322]

Inspire even an advanced crocheter!! Self taught all I know since I was 12(now 67!!! Lol) Very lovely poncho!!! For those at more beginning, beginning intermediate levels, suggest making swatches of the more intricate stitches, so you become very familiar w/them BEFORE attempting the project. Will speed things along for you immensely!!! And you won’t get frustrated working in your poncho!! Also remember to do starting chain loose!! It’s a good habit to get into… Thanks for this video!! Nice job!!!

Oh my gosh…..I’ve not seen anything so absolutely stunning. I’ve sat and watched it all the way through because I’ve never done cable, I’ve done pretty much everything else but not put together and finished in such a way. Your video was so easy to follow and also you showed where the difficulties can arise very clearly. I’ve a lap Afghan on the go at the moment, then a mini album to do for a friend, but after that I am definitely going to be doing this. Thank you so very much and will definitely be looking through your other videos. Have subscribed anyway on the back of this one. Bye for now. 💁🏼‍♀️
