[Sca-cooks] Bayeux Tapestry

[AEllin Olafs dotter]

You do know that it isn't actually a tapestry? That is, it isn't woven, 
but embroidered? I would think your wonderful embroidery skills are more 
to the point than your weaving... unless you really want to weave the 
ground cloth. I mean, you certainly can... *EG* Totally from scratch? 
Now you have to learn to dye your wool...

In a discussion with someone who believes embroidery is everything, I 
was threatening to do pretty much that... spin and weave linen, and then 
toss in some embroidery just to show off the perfection <choke> of my 
work...  this was hypothetical, let me hasten to say! Now, you do 
embroider, so this would be very cool., if you do want to do it!
