Re: [h-cost] Eterna Silk (was Re: BUtterick 18th C)
Not getting any sympathy from me! ;o) I live in an entire state that's not big enough (population wise) for most nice companies, or restaurants.

Re: [h-cost] crochet
On 11/1/05, Lloyd Mitchell [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can someone point me in the way of needlework history of the development of crochet? Warren and Pullan indicate that it was used in ancient times by shepherds as a means of converting sheared wool into garments. Other references I have turned up give notice to tambour work, guipuire Maltese laces and such. Is there any direct documented use of this form of lace making in the 18th C? In any case, it seems to relate to more primitive and coarse lace work. Comments? I'm afraid those sources aren't the best. Where they got their information doesn't hold up.

Re: [h-cost] Muppet Fur
When I saw the subject line, I immediately thought of the dyed sheepskins that IKEA is currently selling. Most of them are colors found in nature (if not on sheep), except for the red ones. By some strange and random chance, the red ones are precisely the color of Elmo. They also have a frigteningly similar appearance. -Katie -- ___ Search for businesses by name, location, or phone number. -Lycos Yellow Pages http://r.lycos.com/r/yp_emailfooter/http://yellowpages.lycos.com/default.asp?SRC=lycos10 ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
