This year, I got no costume-related presents whatsoever. But I bought myself Margareta Gleba's "Textile Production in Pre-Roman Italy" (DBBC had, and may still have, it on sale cheap! Check it out!) so I'm content. I *did* get three books on food history! Spirit of the Harvest, which is a

I haven't received it yet, but I noticed that the Cosimo de Medici book has mysteriously disappeared from my Amazon wish list. I have a strong suspicion that it might turn up as a birthday gift, and since my birthday is the Third Day of Christmas, I think that counts. (I'm out of town, so any bi

Chris, This is a late reply. Hope you got what you hoped for! I knit socks all the time but never do block them. My feet do that well enough :) I've never had blockers and don't understand the need for them. Perhaps you can enlighten me on that point. Happy feet in handknits! ==Marjorie
