Staying with my own handspun yarn, this time I have opted for some lovely Falkand/Soy Silk that I spun back in 2012 and put that with a fairly simple little cape that just has lace along the bottom edge. If you would like to know more about the yarn here is a post I wrote at the time of spinning.
I'm grateful to be knitting this right now as its really cold and with this lot sat on my lap as I work its keeping me warm. Its got a good weight to it too. Still needs to be washed, shaped and dried.
I decided that a vintage style cape needs vintage style buttons and these were only one of a couple of types that I have that actually 'worked' with the design and the colours of the yarn.
Yes, I think another one of these would be great in the shop, in a different colour of course!
