In Which I Describe a Rebellion

[ursula]

I have returned from the bookstore, having spent rather a large sum on the following items. In order of ascending price:

• Lord Hornblower, first edition
  
• Mr. Midshipman Easy, paperback edition of book first published in 1836
  
• History of Hand Knitting, for my forthcoming Elizabethan sock project
  

These are all the books I purchased.

Sounds like an effective rebellion. I applaud your work.

What's the impetus for your Elizabethan sock project? Will it simply involve making socks, or will there be other, historical background-type things?

It's a Society for Creative Anachronism project. A friend of mine will end up with stockings, and I'll try to document as much of the pattern and technique as I can, given my merely ordinary library access at the moment.
