Wow. Now I want to do something like that for next year, only on a much

Due to the wording, it looks like it's talking about one of the many lace

Try researching needlelace to it's beginning, where a lot of times, in
books, it was called all sorts of things, including by the embroidery terms.
It gets very confusing. I'll think I'm reading about needlelace, then

Cafe Press. It's an online market in which people can upload graphics and
put them on shirts, mugs, hats, notebooks (the paper kind), pins, just about
anything. The service takes a certain amount out per item sold, and creates
the item upon order.
They have reasonable prices for their items, and
Heh. Never mind my other email. I didn't read far enough ahead. I love

A couple of years ago, at a Society for Creative Anachronism Arts & Sciences
event for the Kingdom (region), I had entered some reticello I'd worked on.
As I was sitting and talking with people, one man came up to me (who is

Knitting is not really ancient, as having been around during Jesus' time.
Naalbinding, the predecessor to knitting, was developed much earlier than
that (and may be a few thousand years old). Knitting as we know it
