Okay, now I know it is SCA. I didn't know anything about either when I lived in Pennsylvania. I had heard the name, probably on Arachne at some time but never followed it up. Sounds like fun. I remember going to a reenactment in Lichfield, England when my kids were little and it sounds a lot like that. I went again on a visit and this time found a bobbin maker and bought my one and only jingle bobbin. I used to demo at another reenactment in Illinois every September, but it was only for a weekend, which was enough sometimes as it could be very cold.

Didn't see anything lace though sadly. We used to do living history American fur trapper times and we made a Tipi and used it for a couple of seasons camps. Amazing dwellings and I would think the yurt would be fantastic. Moving the 22 ft poles about because too difficult for us so we went back to using a trailer caravan and using a white wall A frame we made instead just to sit around in the day time. I took my lace pillow there several summers and did some bits of work. Always something that it didn't matter if it got dirty but would be useable if it came home clean at the end of the time. Fun days and great social interaction. Sue T Dorset UK -----Original Message----- From: Martha Krieg Pennsic Wars Pennsic Wars - Google will provide videos of same, though I don't fight. Yes, lace was involved. Sunday Aug 3 was Lacemaking day on Artisan's Row . My son-in-law and my daughter built their own 16-foot diameter yurt which will stand up to any weather that has been thrown at it so far (including up to 60 mph winds three years ago); I use a modern tent because I want to be able to set it up and take it down by myself if I have to, On 8/18/14, 6:50 PM, Janice Blair wrote: > Can we get an explanation of the Pennsic Wars.
