I've picked up some "exotic" (for me) yarns from hobbii.com. They are fun to work with, and do make a difference in quality of product.
How did you find the pattern? I'm looking for an Outlander pattern - a sort of fitted short cape that she wore around her shoulders. I saw one at the Holiday Market this weekend, and thought it was lovely.

Very cool! Wish it was in crochet. I looked at the lovely photos...don't see the outfit I remember, but maybe I'm misremembering it.
