Greetings from Stefan li Rous,

I got this message recently because of my files on knitting. I thought
some of you might be interested in this newsletter. I have not seen
the newsletter myself

Hello! I'm the person mentioned by Jim Rust in June of this year as having
a newsletter about medieval knitting.  This is true.  
The Ravel'd Sleeve is a quarterly newsletter about medieval knitting and
the reproduction of medieval knitted garments for use in research and
historical recreation.  It aims to educate and encourage those who are
trying to study medieval knitting in any way, but is not, per se, a
scholarly journal.  We follow closely the activities of the Early Knitting
History Group (one of whom is Dr. Richard Rutt, the author of A History of
Hand Knitting), and attempt to bring all the latest news from the
fast-breaking (!) world of medieval knitting.  
Our content features articles, yarn reviews and resources, a pattern for a
knitted medieval garment, and comments of the readers.  In the most recent
issue, Fall 1997, the main topic is relic purses, and a guest reviewer
takes a look at the Textile Museum's knitting exhibit.
Anyone interested in this newsletter should contact me at
mediknit at nwinfo.net

Thanks for the forum!  Melinda Shoop,aka Fiametta La Ghianda
