ursulaToday, in great feats of not doing enough math, I managed to do laundry, bake bread with cumin, go grocery shopping, find a restaurant that worked for both a vegetarian and someone fond of huge hunks of meat (Brouwers Cafe; many things are possible if the vegetarian is content to derive a large fraction of his calories from beer), and web my documentation of the relic pouch for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alaric and thechemgoddess (it would be great to have some more photos, if any have been taken?). I also scanned one of the brown silk gloves I've knitted-- it's sixteenth-century in construction, though I don't see any reason why the same sort of glove wouldn't have been possible a century or two earlier.
I also scanned a couple of pictures from A History of Academical Dress in Europe Until the Eighteenth Century by W.N. Hargreaves-Mawdsley, who wins a particular prize for having a name which parodies itself: one fifteenth-century image of academics, and one glossary illustration of a tabard, which demonstrates that Hargreaves-Mawdsley's definition of a tabard does not match any of the tabards I have seen. I actually have a bright purple overtunic (though my own mistakes in washing gave it unfortunately pink trim), and I can knit a hat with an acorn top, so perhaps the next step is a hood?
