Cloaks and things

Forgive me if I'm not quite lucid I just took a sleeping pill but wanted to share my happiness with having found the perfect fabric of a new full circle cloak. My old full circle cloak is being lovingly fostered by hypatia and her lovely husband because lets face it, that much fabric just wouldn't fit into my luggage. Today I picked up 6.5m of the yummiest semi-fulled medium/light weight chocolate brown wool (about 1.6m wide) at the deeply discounted price of 100Eur. This will make one full length, full circle cloak with hood for me (the rule is you need four times the with of the fabric). It's always surprising because you do the math and you know you need almost 6.5m but when it gets to unfolding the loot it seems to be way more than you need. Then you fold it in half and fold it in half again and you end up with a square and you realize this pattern takes up a buttload of fabric. But Gods does it drape, in a pinch it can house three full sized adults and a couple of small children in a downpour. It will also keep you warm at night when the temperatures plummet and your sleeping bag has long given you up for lost. Yeah Wool. Now I just need to make the damn thing in a week and a half.
