breeze530 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 My all-time favorite book series is the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Outlander is now a great new mini-series on Starz. In the 4th episode Claire wears 2 different lovely knitted capelets. 1 was just a little bit bigger than a cowl and the other was somewhat longer. But they both looked like they were knit by hand with a rough wool yarn. BTW, the author made a cameo appearance in this episode and even had a line or 2 of dialogue. Love it!

kelvweb Report post Posted September 26, 2014 I love that show! I saw an interview where the actress who plays Claire said they employ knitters in Scotland where they film the show. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks so much for posting this. I noticed that the yarn looked less polished than most yarns used today. It is great that they decided to use handmade items.
