Yarn Along: Gothic Romance

When Northanger Abbey arrived from Netflix, I watched it immediately.  Pete came in just as it was ending and, once the credits rolled, said, "That was nice.  Now let's start at the beginning."  This is why I love him.
 
All the mentions of the scandalous novel The Mysteries of Udolpho, by Ann Radcliff made me curious.  I decided to give it a try and downloaded the free Librivox audiobook.
 
But what to knit during this bleak tale?  
  
A purpley-black stocking cap, obviously. It is just tragic enough.
I'm running out of yarn though...

Stripes it is, then!

Join our Yarn Along at small things!

Oh that purpley black is such a gorgeous colour (and I love the way you matched your pattern to what you were watching!)

What a great color -- I'm sure the hat will turn out wonderfully. I love to knit while watching movies or listening to audio books, especially when the story and the project go together well!
