Romana scarf
Originally uploaded by ursulageorges

This scarf is for rivendellrose, as part of the art meme. It is based on a scarf that Romana wears in a classic Dr. Who episode. (According to IMDB, Lalla Ward, who played this incarnation of Romana, has written knitting books and married Richard Dawkins of angry-biologist fame after they were the only two people to show up on time for one of Douglas Adams' parties.)

have you seen/heard of this? I was reading it (don't ask) and for some reason it reminded me of you. It has a certain quaintness that I think you'll find amusing.

also, i've dug out my sleevey mittens for winter. yay.

I haven't seen this one. I do have a reprint of an eighteenth-century cookbook which has some similar recipes. I keep meaning to try some of the cakes.

Young ladies should be taught that usefulness is happiness, and that all other things are but incidental. With regard to matrimonial speculations, they should be taught nothing!

Yay mittens!
