Finally!! I finally get to share this design with you. When I look back over my old binders full of pattern drafts, this one appears many times over in my doodles.
Ya'll know how much I love the old Gothic soap opera Dark Shadows, well this is inspired by Rachel Drummonds little capelet, AKA Kitty Soames AKA Lady Hampshire I think of her as Rachel Drummond.
YARN
Fairy Lace, 100% SW merino, 925 yards/100g, 1 skein
and one collar to match.
A bit about colors... this time you can choose from mine or pick something totally you.
This one was my first color choice. Those of you who know what a peacock I am will think it strange. This color had to be black because he's so very evil, total predator, a snake in the grass.
But would you like the collar dark or light? Yarn dark or light?
Has to be worked in magenta which is the color I made the sample from. Dark magenta collar and a light pink yarn. Which is where I hit a road block, what if you don't like dark magenta by your face.

Miss Drummond
As the governess, I love this blue blouse so, went with a pale sky collar. Can do any color blue, the collar here is actually Wedgewood.
Blue Violet
Had a hard time getting this color to be the same as in real life... it has a lot more character when you see it in person. At times the dye pops deep magenta which comes through as red violet, others a dark turquoise which shows up as sapphire. It keeps you knitting just one more row. Beads are Iris multi, very dark and pretty.
OTHER COLORS: When you choose your own color. Be sure to fill in the two questions and be specific on your color cause there's a zillion blues and I love them all. After placing your order and you'd like to clarify or have any questions please feel free to contact me at email
Cobalt Multi
Why multi? Took three different colors before I was happy with the yarn shading.
Found these beads for the shawl, will look smashing.
Please feel free to ask for your favorite color I've boxes full of beads, one of them is bound to be perfect for your favorite color too.
Couple of colors I'd love to paint, teal like this skirt only more blue,,, can do more yellow, totally dealers choice.
Another I'd love to do is my Blue Violet color which leaves tiny dots of turquoise and hot pink on the yarn. The color sort of blends through a deep, hot periwinkle and into a medium violet, it's amazing. I've painted this color on sheets, hankies, socks, pillows to embroider on, socks, t shirts, pants, totes, fabric for quilting, and on the list goes. "If it'll hold still long enough and I'm in the room, fair game."

Beads
This time we have the pretty size 10/0 beads shown above as well as my entire stock of 11/0 beads to choose from, too many to photo. The 10/0 are all silver lined and the colors are green, pink and clear. I want the colors to match so will choose 11/0 if these colors don't work. I've boxes and boxes full of seed beads, chances are pretty good that I'll have exactly what we need. You will need the smallest Lacis hook .40 which is in extras along with needles etc.
