Hood / Mantle Patterns
Stellaria:
I'm going to leave this here, so I don't lose it.

And possibly post a photo of one, once I get confirmation and permission from Shamsi. I saw this article a long time ago, and couldn't picture the hood as anything but funny-looking.....and then I saw this GORGEOUS picture and the design rung a bell. Trust me, it looks SOCOOL.
Eta: Permission obtained!
Add other patterns that you all like to use, please?
Lady Krystal:
This is the one I've been meaning to play around with before winter hits.

Lyte:
A friend from the SCA pointed me to this site, really good looking stuff and she has a hood section based on the Skjoldehamn find. It looks like the pic you posted.

I love this link (it's worth the 5 minutes it takes to read). The MA thesis that it links to (in Norwegian, but great pictures with English captions; full English translation on the way) is even better: http://www.ceilingpress.com/Resources/Nye%20tanker%20om%20Skjoldehamnfunnet.pdf .
But as a heads up - I made a reproduction of the hood using the exact measurements of the original, and either the original lady had a very small head, or she was buried in a hood that didn't fit her very well. It was tiny!
Rojji:
I forget who told me about the idea, but I made two okay mantle/hoods out of pillowcases. Food for thought to beginners.
