Just watched BP in Norway on the beeb and was well taken with the Sami poncho thing he was wearing to herd reindeer. Anyone know where there might be a pattern? - I've got a couple of blankets lying around looking for a project.
Apparently it's called a Sámi luhkka and it seems Fjallraven are about to do a modern version:

I might make a version in vadmal, or vadmal with a poplin shell. Closer to the original specs, though.
Might work well as static hunting garment
OK, I should have googled first.

Still fancy a homemade one though.
So it's like all the warmth of a big winter coat but with the mother of all gaping flappy holes in the bottom...

I spoke to Tony at Tamarack who's expecting them around September time, price approx £225
