First project of the year!

[sister_raphael]

I've had this gorgeous wool for some time now. It's double sided, so it's this beautiful tan on one side and a creamy oatmeal on the other. I bought plenty, as my plans were a matching hood and surcote, neither of which are to be lined since the contrasting colours seen in medieval manuscripts will be reproduced without.

Today I cut the surcote out, with side and a back gore and set about making a start on sewing the back gore in. 

I've got other things to finish before starting a new project, but I'm feeling motivated, and enjoying it, so... I just want to work on something mindless that makes me happy.
