Blankets

Sometimes here at work, there are a few different people who set up stalls in the courtyard in front of the Library where I work. There is a book guy, a jewellery guy and a couple of different people who do second hand cloths and blankets. I like the blankets, cause I can use them to make clothes for the SCA. Today I picked up a nice lightweight, cream single bed blanket and a heavyweight, fulled (almost felted) dusty rose pink blanket. I plan to use the cream for a tunic and the rose for a cloak. The cream one may be dyed at some stage, I was thinking a red variation. The cloak can just be cut out (half circle cloak) and some bold wool embroidery done on it.
