c'est fini.
The cloak project is done. It looks fabulous. darkwolfie has been enjoined to stay away from flame while wearing it and told that he owes me jewelry.
I'm really pleased with it, even if I did have to take tucks towards the back where the strip didn't lay along the top edge of the curve nicely (I think that if I'd been able to lay it out on a table and sew it, it might lie better, but my sewing table is a grotty mess at the moment).
There will be pictures after this weekend when I a) have a chance to lint-roller it, because it's black wool and therefore covered with light-colored lint and white cat hair and b) there's room to take a decent picture.
For now, I will just look up directions to Hanscom AFB (I have a doctor's appointment in the morning) and go to bed.
