Hi

Its getting there.  I finished the store bought yarn prototype and I am still
fulling it, it is no longer a glorified toliet seat cover.  I did several test
swatches and I thought I had the vertical to horizontal shrinkage rate all figured
out but it is a little off, hence the use of store bought yarn first.

I have a picture of a 1580's Scottish bonnet along with a description of their
manufacture as well as other images and tidbits on related knitted caps.  I'm
trying to get of my duff and write the museum that has the piece to get its full
provenance etc....
