Knitted with "thread"???! Either cotton or silk, that is a lot of fine 
thread in a *lot* of tiny little loops. Oh my.

Please do. I'd likely be interested in most articles if they applied to 
our time period and location. While I usually use SCA names in the 
bylines, I use real names in the copyright and permission section and I 
do have a number of articles from folks outside the SCA, sometimes 
because they found the Florilegium using a search engine. My standard 
policy is that the copyright remains with the author and I will remove 
such an article upon request by the author.
