Ravelry tip of the day

We get a lot of customers coming in looking for very specific patterns. Today's request was a cape or poncho for a toddler to wear over a fancy dress. The customer had looked on Ravelry but couldn't find much. She was searching for ladies poncho and then child's poncho and then she tried other searches but couldn't find anything. Do a general search (under patterns) for ponchos. Then it will tell you that there are _____ pages of patterns. Scroll down and on the left you can put in the size that you are looking for.
When you click on toddler it will only show patterns in the age range that you want. There were many more than she was finding. Hope this helps when you are searching.

Sorry - still no knitting to show. I've made a bit of progress but my chiropractor has ordered no knitting. I took that to mean cut down on my knitting :)
