The first of the new 'Outlander' inspired costumes for Bianca are coming together. I'm working on two similar outfits, with all the parts in different colours, so she can 'mix & match'.
I knit some fingerless gloves and a shawl out of needle-punch yarn. I still have to weave in the loose threads of the shawl, but was excited to take some photos.....

Her shawl looks great in real life, but shows rather 'orange' in photos, but I'm not going to make another. At least not of this version. I stained her sleeve edges, and applied a diluted beige paint to the bodice to 'kill' the bright green...

I think I need to open up the stomacher and insert something to stiffen it, since it 'pulls' together when the lacing on the jacket is done up. The second inner bodice definitely needs it.
I also think this combination needs brown arm warmers. But the brown yarn was so thin that I knit one using double thread, but it ended up way too bulky, so now I will try the super thin yarn after all. I'm also trying to figure out how to knit a 'cowl' shawl, and make a fine, white 'fichu'.
