I'm sorry to hear about the disappearance of your socks. Sometimes 
there are some bad apples, or at least careless ones, in the SCA among 
all the good apples. I lost about $500 worth of swords and daggers when 
I loaned them to my barony for a display at the public library and they 
didn't come back to me. But at least I hadn't spent a lot my time 
making them other than just cleaning them originally.

Knit pouches? Any evidence of these being period? Have you, or anyone 
else written an article on these? Either a overview of period examples 
or a how-to-make-them article? I'd love to have such articles for the 
Florilegium.

For those interested, I do have these articles on knitted socks in the 
CLOTHING section:

Wrynne).

And these in the TEXTILE ARTS section
