So the lovely sstormwatch came by to work on some fittings last night and did me the excellent service of ensuring I didn’t lose my mind in Mock-Up Hell on my cloak project. I had started out with the basic de Alcega cloak pattern that I have posted in this project before. Just in case you (somehow) missed it:

For Alcega, you might find this page I put up years ago helpful. The sb indicates the cloak measures 27" long, which is a short cloak, not a long one. There are longer ones in Alcega, but I think you've figured out a pattern that would work for you.

Yes!

Amusingly enough, I posted the link to your de Alcega work in a prior post on this same topic and then Never Got Around To Reading It.

Ah well, I think reinventing the wheel is working out OK too. ;)
