Poncho's do you wear one, I think I may purchase one and see

I have had a grey cashmere one from The White Company for over six years, I love it it’s ideal for spring/autumn instead of a jacket.

Not in a million years would I wear a poncho or a cape. I know it's very much looking on the dark side, but you can be attacked and held down by a big wide garment like that and a little person like me needs all the help I can get in such a situation.

My dear friend, who is a great knitter, knitted one for each of my granddaughters, and they loved them. Then she knitted me one, and it is so lovely and warm, I throw it on in the evening, or slightly cooler afternoons, and its great, as your hands are still free to do crosswords or typing, whilst keeping nice and toasty. She is now knitting some for extended family, they have really caught on. Can be very colourful as well

Sounds lovely GrannyG .I might have seen them on Skipton Market .

I recently took a photo of this lovely poncho to send to my Irish cousin and give her a trip down memory lane. We each had one very similar to this when we were teenagers and thought we were the bee’s knees wearing them. I wish I still had it for wearing indoors.

I have a poncho type garment bought years ago. I usually wear it on chilly evenings and put a woollen blanket over my knees.

My girls had crocheted ponchos last time they were in fashion.

I have one, I do still use it in an evening if it’s a bit chilly. I knitted one of my GDs when she was 5 she loved it.

Granny I love the collar and button details on the poncho, lovely.

I crocheted a poncho with some left over yarn a couple of years ago. It's proved to be very useful to throw on as an extra layer.

I have three - all plain colours. Two are fairly lightweight ones for spring or autumn days when slightly chilly. One of these is crocheted. Very much the fashion at the moment my 17 yr old DGD1 tells me Kamiso. I was watching her crochet a top for her mum the other weekend.

The other has a huge polo neck and in a cable pattern. A little like that one Grannynannywanny. Love the button detail.

GrannyGravy13. Very impressed that you have managed to keep moths away from your cashmere for 6 years!!

I have just bought a silk cashmere mix fine poncho with a big loose polo neck. I love it and just pop it on over outfits... mostly dresses.

Very flattering!

Oh muse your post has just reminded me that I have also got a polo knock one. It’s cream cable stitch.

Admission I have a thick tweed one, with lining and a fake fur collar.

I have several pure cashmere ponchos from Turtle Doves , a company in Shrewsbury who use recycled cashmere to make ponchos, jackets, fingerless gloves, neckwarmers, beanies, wraps and scarves.
I am still trying to work out how I could be attacked and wrestled to the ground because I was wearing a ponchos
Not an occupational hazard IMO

Disregard either the "a" or the "s" !

I have two cashmere ponchos I bought from Pure Cashmere years ago. Unfortunately this company no longer exists, bought over from a company I am not so keen on and they have hiked up the prices of all Pure Cashmere products they still sell. I also have a rabbit fur one.

I knitted one each for both GDs a few years ago and one for GD1’s dolly.

There are lots of them in TKMax.

Will take a look in T ks

The fashion wheel keeps turning doesn’t it?

I had a mustard coloured woollen one in the late sixties (probably went with some brown trousers ? - those were the fashionable colours back in the day). I have a soft brown knitted one from John Lewis bought 4 years ago. I keep it in Spain where the weather when chilly is at least often dry! Wet wool is no friend to anyone.

That said, pulling them up over one’s head does mess the hair somewhat!

I have one DH brought me from Peru when he was in the Navy. It is made from alpaca wool and is very warm. I wear it when the weather us very cold.

I have quite a few

My very trendy very beautiful 21 year old daughter has just bought a poncho

I suspect I would look like Margaret Rutherford in a poncho. But smaller and rounder with less hair. It would not be a good idea.

I have a few fine knit ones, they are definitely not out of fashion!

I had one when I was young from Richard Shops. Brown and white striped. It was quite warm but no good in the rain!
