Cloak experiment
Just tried out the fellowship cloak pattern found at http://www.alleycatscratch.com/lotr/Things/FCloak/FCloak_pattern.htm It works perfectly fitting well on the shoulders and stays on if I walk slowly even without a clasp sewn on yet. Used a $2 bit of sweater weight knit fabric I found at a thrift store. But since cloaks should be woven not knit and finding enough fabric at the right size while spending next to nothing is a crap shoot I won't be posting a HOWTO till I can find something more common to make the cloak from. At that time I'll post a modified (if necessary) pattern and instructions on how to put it together.
