This is a picture of What to Wear in an Ice Storm. It is an Irish Cape made from an authentic pattern from the 1800's. Because it is my nature and I can't help it I tweaked the pattern a bit by making it a little less full at the top and a little more full at the bottom. And I also lined it with GoreTex so that it would be both water and wind proof. But the fabric itself was woven on the AVL (otherwise known as the Big Freaking Loom) by me. It is my first piece of fabric that I wove on the loom and is a striped wool warp woven with white merino which makes it both soft and misty. I also lined the detachable hood with linen to hide the GoreTex and to boost the Authentic Irish Feel. The ice storm in question was the one that took out power to most of the Eastern Seaboard last weekend and bedecked trees and powerlines with incredible beauty in order to make up for the inconvenience of the electricity thing.
