Re: [h-cost] Knitting machines
How much is it like using a weaving loom? I love knitted sweaters, I used to crochet, but for some reason I just have never wanted to knit by hand. Fran [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Lurker here.

Re: [h-cost] Knitting machines
Lurker here. I own 3 knitting machines: a regular Studio with ribbing attachment, a regular Studio with no ribber, and a chunky Studio. I haven't used them much lately but when my kids were small I was always making them hats, scarves, lined mittens, and sweaters. I used to be in craft fairs and made pretty good money just selling lined mittens and slippers. You don't have to know how to hand knit to use a machine because the terminology is complete different. I also own a very old stocking knitting machine that is circular. I haven't done anything with that yet. I am curious to see if I could make stockings on it that re enactors could use.

Re: [h-cost] 1830s-40s Boots and Shoes
Thanks everyone for your help! I've bought shoes from Sarah Juniper in the past, and love them to pieces, but assumed from her website that this wasn't a period she works with. I'm sending her an order soon anyway, so I'll ask her then. I've sent an email to Annello and Davide too, I'm in the UK, so those two work best for me anyway! Thanks again, and I'll let you know how I get on.

Re: [h-cost] Elizabethan Coifs
The book "The Tudor Tailor" has scale patterns for coifs, both for men and women. There are also patterns and detailed instructions for English and French hoods, bongraces, caps and more. Hope this helps.

Re: [h-cost] Elizabethan Coifs
What part of the era? I wear plain cheeks & ears over a forehead cloth, c1570 - or do they want a blackwork worked quoife - or a pattern for the polychromatic? (Both of which I cannot yet prove was worn in public) Drea has a great gallery of original embroidered quoifes. I also might know who the quoife may be for, if you will share the name of the correspondant as I know of an up-coming elevation where this may apply.
