I finished my Halloween cape just in time for the party I attended on Saturday. I was grafting the hood at like, six-thirty. : ) But it’s done and I love it, and yay!
Pattern: My own, but I am working on writing up so it can be test knitted and offered for sale.
Yarn: About 3.5 balls of Valley Northampton in red.
Needles: US 7/4.5 mm

I made the underbust corset as well. I used some leather I got from a skirt I thrifted and took my measurements to make a pattern on newspaper, then cut out the pattern, cut out the leather, and sewed it up and laced it. Yay! I wore it on… Thursday, I think, also because it’s completely awesome and I love it.
I took a ton of pictures of the thing earlier today, so here are some more for your perusal:
