Actually, I think that what most of us are saying is that the word 'tatting' used alone may not have existed in the sca period. (Careful when posting to this list when you say our period. ;) )
What most of us, researchers - sca - non sca - lurkers - costumers, are saying is that the process that was labeled as tatting evolved before and through the sca period. That we have not found the words in a book or in someone's thesis is the other thing that we are saying. There is currently lots of textile research going on that is not associated with our list membership that may in the next year or so prove all of us wrong. You just have to look for textile researchers that are writing about needle arts and thread arts. The Tut tomb for instance, they are still working on the textiles from that tomb. It is a never ending job. ♫ Chiara Francesca > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > On Behalf Of Julie Tamura > Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2008 1:37 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [h-cost] Tatting before 1600? > > Thank you all for your answers.
