I bought yarn for this fall’s cold weather knitting project, Roam by Rowan. Doesn’t it look rather medieval? Sort of a jerkin. It has a hood, which I’d like to make long and pointy – with the practical aspect of having more room for my hair. I got a better yarn than that boring brown, though. It’s ‘Country’, in 652 Willow. Think that’ll look nice with my Gothic Fitted Dress fabric (hint – it’s the plaid I put on the banner above)?
Greet! What a great knitting project! It looks kind of tabard-ish. Did you get the pattern at Unwind? Where did you get your yarn? The color is beautiful; I think it will look wonderful with your “cotte”. We should all make these to wear with our GFDs. (I still haven’t cut mine out yet…)
Oh, and since this is my first comment I have to say, “Cool blog!” I will be a regular visitor 😎
The yarn and the pattern book came from Unwind (formerly The Yarn Garden) in Fort Walton Beach. They have started selling Rowan yarns and books in a major way, though they don’t have everything.
Isn’t it a great pattern? I even think it’s rather unisex – at least I’ll stick it on Daan if I have to! 😉 I’m nearly done with the back piece, which of course I’ll bring to Grub and Garb next week.
