	Dot July 9, 2005 12:25 AM PDT Hi Patty, your stole sounds beautiful. I like the change you made to the edging. I can just imagine how soft and snuggly the pink stole is.


	Patty July 8, 2005 10:01 PM PDT Hi Dot, I just finished the Peacock shawl. I made it in pale pink, and edged it with the same yarn as the body, the pale pink. I did change the edging a tiny bit, where you have ch 1, then sl st, I did a ch 2, then sl st. That's all I changed. It is beautiful. Thanks


	Dot June 15, 2005 07:50 AM PDT Thank you, Patti. I'm glad you found my site, hope you enjoy the patterns you find here. I'd love to see a picture of your stole when you're finished.


	Patty June 14, 2005 09:07 PM PDT I just found your site. All I can say is WOW. I'm printing out the peacock shawl. It is so pretty. Thank you Patty


	Dot April 9, 2005 11:50 PM PDT Thank you, Cindi. You could do 2 rectangles using the same pattern stitch and then seam them together to form a poncho.


	NameCindi April 9, 2005 11:03 PM PDT Hi, Dot, wow to ALL your work! I love the Pretty as a Peacock Shawl. I wonder if it would be easy to turn into a poncho?
