A project to add to my to-do list

[liadethornegge]

I had brought with me some red wool up north to possibly do something with. Well, I did nothing and just now, as I was about to cut into it to make a carrying bag, one of those sort of triangular ones, I realized that: no. No, it does not need to become a bag.

This cut of wool (70 x 94 cm) needs to become one of those open hoods you see on all the GFD women!

• Skin out: Women's Hats - Hoods. (Bottom of page)
• Marie-Chantal's red hood. (With the long tail, which I might need to skip)
• Marie Chantal's Burgundian hood site with lots of pictures.

Pretty much all the pictures shows this type of open hood as being red. I may have slightly too thick wool for it, but feh. If I line it I will only put white linen inside the head, or probably do what MC does and wear something of linen underneath it (will need to make that bit too).

Well, I feel all energised about it now - hurray! I was planning on borrowing the pattern that I know helwig has got at home for this. I have made a hood before, but it is wildly over-sized and I like the small hood Helwig got out of her pattern. So there it is. Now I just need to stitch it up.
