Awombleforever – The poncho made a big impact around 1970,all the girls were wearing them,I was poor so had to make do with an old brown table cloth with a fringe,I cut a hole for the head,it was my poncho.
My friend had a flouresant green and pink hand crocheted one. They have made a comeback and guess what,I now have 2 pink ones a white one and a black one,I love them.

Hattie – Mine was crochet brown and orange back in the seventies …….oddly i only have a brown one and have only worn it once or twice ……got it in the sales …….they were really expensive dont u think Womble?

LouLou – my mam knitted me ponchos in every imaginable colour with that funny wool that was all different colours run into each other.

Nix – I had a creamy-white one, and a purple/pink one. Oh, the humanity.

Lainybins – I had a blue and white striped poncho with a white fringe that my Gran crocheted for me. She made my little sister a red and white one. I’ve been rifling through my photo collection trying to find a picture but it seems I was particularly camera-shy whenever I wore mine…. Probably just as well!
