[Regia-NA] Llangorse cord and querstions

[Jenn]

Hi, Eileen.  Here is the cord being discussed:  
http://www.lmbric.org/n7/n7.html  You'll have to scroll down halfway 
down the page, but the work is incredibly fine & beautiful.  I have the 
utmost respect for these ladies AND their eyesight!  When looking at 
these long-halls & out-buildings, I wonder how fine work was ever done, 
although it must have been done when there was light from the son... 
firelight seems impossible.  I like the vignettes in Dress in A-S 
England... it makes alot of sense to work together, when possible, & to 
do so outside.  There are so many things a Mom could do & still grab 
young Harold by the britches.
As for as headwear, I want to make the simple coif/cap in a lovely 
yellow linen, of which I have just enough scraps to do little fun bits.  
&, I think some Van Dyke stitch edging would be good. Good night!  Dream 
of cording.  Jennifer
