Traveling Cape

Traveling Cape, 3/4 front

My cousin Tom's second son got married on January 1, 2012 in Monterrey, California.  The location, the brides hometown, was absolutely gorgeous. I planned to go early to visit galleries and other interests in Carmel.  Knowing the weather changed dramatically from Maine to California and also each day in Carmel; sun = warm; breeze after night meant chills.  This wool cape was the perfect thing for the visit.  It traveled well as a blanket, sides flung back it adjusted to the afternoon sun, closely wrapped around me, it warmed me each evening.  It worked well!  I also love the design which is in the style of Mondrian, to fit an Fast Friday Fabric Challenge 3 months ago.

All the wool was recycled from clothing either in my closet, Salvation Army, friends, or thrift shops.
