Sounds neat! I hope we'll get to see pictures! Of course, the real pleasure would be in the feel...

I can't knit but I want to feel qiviut sometime
(Musk Ox wool. Good scrabble word, too).

Re: Ciel, what a yarn!
I go through phases of crocheting--often in the winter, or when I spot a particularly nice yarn. Or when my granddog needs a new ball... Lately I have been playing with felting, too. I use a big crochet hook, and make the item a third again as large as I want it to be finished. Then I wash it hot, and dry it hot. If I wash warm and dry hot, the fibers don't shrink so much. I am going to try boiling, another traditional felting method.

Love to see a picture of that. Now you have seen the real thing perhaps you can knit your own costume.
In the past couple of weeks we've all been knitting here. Not that I am very good. I just find it soothing to do as I watch TV or sit on the deck, and I used to do it on long train journeys.
