Last night's episode of Outlander was so intense, realistic, brutal and disturbing. It's the first episode (but not that last) that I will not watch on StarzPlay over and over. In fact I didn't get much sleep last night.
But I do have some good news to share, so that's what I'm going to dwell on. I finished my version of the Rent Collecting Shawl. And while I don't have a green plaid skirt and bodice to wear while modeling this (Don't think for a moment I didn't consider it!) here are my photos of my latest creation.
Too bad I didn't have Mrs. Fitz to help me pin my hair.
I could definitely forego the ice-cold character building sponge bath though.
Now to block my shawl and have my test knitters get busy. Check back next week for the finished pattern.
Can't Wait for the pattern! Soo excited!
It looks like you did a fantastic job.

This is wonderful! Can't wait to see your pattern!
I enjoy reading your commentary about the show as well. Your recent comment about not wanting to watch the re-runs of this past show are the exact same ones of my SIL. She is visiting for the week and has been watching every episode at least 3 times! But, not this time, she said she could do w/o watching the blood and gore again. We are both looking forward to next week....and hoping that there is no more "gore" on the menu next week ;-)....however, we are sad that this first series will be ending soon!

Fabulous! Great work! And I won't be re watching episode six many times either. Probably once more before episode seven airs.

I love it! Last night's episode was intense. A bit too realistic, but we already knew that Black Jack Randall was not a very. Ice man, it was just difficult to see him portrayed in such a visceral manner.

I haven't seen the newest episode yet and now I'm scared. We'll watch it tonight.
You did a great job on the shawl!!
