Fabric of Britain: Knitting's Golden Age

This is really worth watching. I recommend finding an hour to set aside, knit, and watch this:

I love the sensation The Prince of Wales (one of the Edwards) caused in the 1920s with a knitted vest that was 'almost vulgar' in it's brightness, and 'shocking' in it's informality! I love that he was such a sweater icon, and basically put Fair Isle on the fashion map. And did you know that in the 1930s the most fashionable swimsuits were knitted?!

So I thought I'd do my first-ever video blog post! It's on how to wear a caplet, since I've had some comments on caplet FOs in the past saying that people aren't really sure how to wear them. This is how I wear them. I wasn't in front of a mirror at all, so this is what I would consider to be 'real life' caplet application. I don't know about you, but I don't look in the mirror every time I adjust my clothes or put a coat on.
***UPDATE: Some of you have commented on caplet vs. capelet. There is no difference, I just refer to it as a caplet, because to me, they seem more like the knitted cap of a mushroom than anything resembling a cape. Personal preference only.

I was nervous- this really was something completely different for me! I think next time I'll use an HD camera or something, because this is grainy city. Definitely a learning experience!
