Downton Abbey Fever
I have Downton Abbey Fever and I've got it bad.
Every Sunday evening I will cancel any other plans just to be able to catch the next episode of this British period drama. The characters are interesting, charasmatic, and some of them, impossible. But all of them are completely compelling, as is the story itself.
The costume designs are equally compelling. A knitter on Ravelry admitted to having this same disorder and wondered if there were any knitting designs that could be appropriate for this TV series. It made me think about some of my designs.
I can just see Lady Mary:
Wearing an Antonia shawlette over her shoulders at dinner:
Or an Arabella on her way to an evening ball:
And there is always the consistently popular Antique Lace for almost anytime:
No doubt I'll get some more design ideas while watching this irresistible drama.
