| When I visited Memphis, in Egypt, we visited the shops of rugmakers there, and I was incredibly impressed by the looms they worked on and how fast their fingers flew in making the rugs. The smaller the fingers, the greater the thread count and the silkier the threads used. They had their patterns taped up as well. A quick child could earn enough for their family by working only a few hours a day plus receive schooling, as part of a child labor practice. It was fascinating. No orcs to destroy them, thankfully. I woudl have been a glove or purse maker last chapter, but I think I would like to sit in this warm bright house where love was in plenty. | |

| These are such interesting people - it seems awful that within such a short time they will all be slaughtered. But then, sometimes surviving that kind of disaster is worse that dying. I wonder how Erth coped with losing all his family like that. | |

| What an interesting little family! I've been toying with learning naal-binding; it was, after all, a precursor to knitting. But so far I've not had a chance to attend any events where it has been taught (I'm in the SCA.) Sprang I am less familiar with--I know the term, but not how it is worked--isn't it also used in net-making? Or am I confusing that with something else? Author Reply: Actually, I took the idea from the Regia Anglorum website - just cut 90 per cent of the descriptions. It's entirely possible, though, that I completely misinterpreted what I was reading. | |
