Terry, I hope you are able to put together patterns for the knitted pieces. It will save us countless hours of squinting as we try to count stitches! There is a built in audience on Ravelry just frothing at the mouth for them.
Sorry, I can’t. I don’t own the designs for the show, Sony does. I am not allow to seek anything, nor do I have any say over when or how things are sold. Please send the word out!
There’s already a group on Ravelry for Outlander knits….check it out. I’ve seen at least two versions of claire’s cowl on there. Also check out Outlander Knitters on Facebook 🙂
I just watched the Emmys last Sunday night and I can’t recall whether or not they have an award for Best Costumes. If they do, you should definitely be nominated (and win) for your stunning Outlander designs. I fully expect Outlander to garner a slew of nominations next year in every conceivable category. Look out, HBO…there’s a new kid in town.
Love the fichu! Such a classic look. If there’s not an Emmy with your name on it next year…well, I just can’t imagine that. Also drooling over your new header photo. I’m a sucker for old keys. Have a small collection of “skeleton” keys from past houses. Are those from your current Scottish abode?
The costumes are just incredible, Terry. Not only are they beautiful but they are integral to the story and the characters. You are also really not good for my budget — had to order some yarn to make some Claire cowls for sons’ girlfriends.
love, Love, LOVE the fichu!!! best neckline look for cait/claire yet! i seem to remember you saying something somewhere about you wanting to cover her chest up but the studio/starz wanting her necklines low/exposing (which made no sense to you). when i saw this last weekend, i cheered! it looks _just right_!
i’m also loving the mink cowl and all the mrs fitz’s knit bits! am planning at least two pair of mitts — one for me and one for a christmas present.
very much looking forward to tomorrow (saturday) night and what you have cooked up for us ;-D
I am so impressed by the costumes! Every detail is brilliant, on everyone! The knitwear us amazing. I am so inspired to get back to my needles and hooks. Congratulations on such beautiful costume designing!
Best Always.
Terry, just wanted to say how much I appreciate your blog posts. I’ve been sharing them with my aunts/cousins/mom in our weekly ‘Outlander’ thread, and we’re all learning so much about costume design and 18th century fashion.
I hope you continue to post for every season of ‘Outlander’ – may there be many more!
Love all the different looks. When you look closely, you realize they are just mix/match versions. But you really have to look closely! 🙂

So should we start a letter writing campaign to Sony to let you release a book of the knitting patterns? We can make that happen!
Who can we write to about this? I would love to get patterns for these!

And another one just came up in my feed today. I may be making this for myself and for someone else for Christmas. 🙂
Cait looks great. What wonders you two have done in bringing Claire to the screen. Simply awe-inspiring.
I love that I now know what a fichu is! LOL! Seems to serve both practical (warmth, coverage) and decorative purposes.
Well then, I have achieved something tangible and authentic!!!!!! 😉
You’ve been a fantastic teacher all along. 🙂

They do, and this year it was awarded to the costume designer for Game Of Thrones.
Beautiful.

Hey Sue! No, I only have one key of that size for the house, wish I had to have a giant one on my key chain.

You know you’ve set the knitting world ablaze with Claire’s chunky cowl? Everyone’s scrabbling for a pattern! I’m winging it! GORGEOUS!!
We all want to know, Terry – is Claire’s chunky cowl an infinity type, twisted into a figure 8, or is it a simple tube? Thanks, and LOVING your work!
