This particular item doesn't look any different to the waterfall cardigans that have been everywhere around here for the last couple of years -- they all have that odd long square front.</p> <p>The more conventional crocheted ponchos were kind of popular here in the UK for a couple of seasons, but I always felt that they looked silly on me. Some of my friends managed to look super glamorous in theirs, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-there-were-swackets-nowswanchos#post-451427 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 01:49:45 +0000 ironkurtin 451427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These hybrid words give me the heaves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-there-were-swackets-nowswanchos#post-451381 Tue, 25 Oct 2011 00:34:31 +0000 nancylee 451381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with all of you. As for "swancho," I think it's a good example of creative wordplay gone bad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-there-were-swackets-nowswanchos#post-451276 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 22:47:35 +0000 chewyspaghetti 451276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've seen a lot of things that I would consider a sweater/poncho this year, but that is not one of them. I also think it looks like any other cascading cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-there-were-swackets-nowswanchos#post-451216 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 21:03:42 +0000 Suz 451216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the difference is that it is square in the front and cascading in the back only? Doesn't the typical cascading cardi work the other way—cascades in front and is even (more or less) in the back? </p> <p>But what a word? I don't mind the look of this at all, but the name wouldn't tempt me to try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-there-were-swackets-nowswanchos#post-451215 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 21:01:31 +0000 Jackie C 451215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Louise is right...definately nothing Poncho about it, but I do love it, I would wear it belted at the waist but its a bit out of my price rage </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-there-were-swackets-nowswanchos#post-451188 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 20:29:35 +0000 Inge 451188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*grin* not exactly what I was expecting, I agree with Louise, this is more of a cascading cardigan.</p> <p>Not sure if I like the words swacket and swancho either, but always good to know what's in the shops right:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-there-were-swackets-nowswanchos#post-451169 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:59:33 +0000 goldenpig 451169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Louise, that doesn't look like a poncho at all. When I think of sweater poncho I think of my orange one:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiws-orange-poncho-and-zippered-peacoat" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ed-peacoat</a><br /> Or my purple one (although that's more cape-like):<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-oversizecapeponcho-love" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....oncho-love</a><br /> But I refuse to call it a swancho. Ugh! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-there-were-swackets-nowswanchos#post-451160 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:38:28 +0000 Louise 451160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just looks like a cascading cardigan to me??? x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/first-there-were-swackets-nowswanchos#post-451159 Mon, 24 Oct 2011 19:35:25 +0000 nancylee 451159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, has anyone ever heard this term before? Swancho. I'm assuming the math is something like this: Sweater + Poncho = Swancho</p> <p><a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=554588&#038;PartnerID=LINKSHARE&#038;cm_mmc=LINKSHARE-_-n-_-n-_-n&#038;LinkshareID=J84DHJLQkR4-Jb4QKkSfSKDBFrUHlCXD4g" rel="nofollow">http://www1.bloomingdales.com/.....FrUHlCXD4g</a></p> <p>Clever, but I'm not seeing the poncho part here! </p>
