To tell you the turh, I don't know... :oops: My mum saw the pic at Graham Sumner's Osprey book and said: -"Ah, I know this pattern! It's a simple punt de ganxet!"- :roll:

desert nights - Caius Fabius - 06-25-2006
While in the deserti, we had two 5 gallon black plastic water containers.
One stayed on the outside of the vehicle in the daytime, as the sun went down, we put that one inside, and the other outside. When the sun came up, we switched them again.
The one that was outside in the daytime provided hot water for shaving, bathing and sometimes heating meals. The one that was outside at night sometimes froze, and provided cold drinking water all day.

Very nice,Faventianvs.
With all the excitement about nalbinding and hand woven items,
I wonder about the evidence for such goods in an earlier timeframe.
Were socks(udones) worn in the first century? Everything I can find
about this technique(my wife's trying to get info for making socks,too)
says it's from the 4th cent Scandanavia. Does this seem confusing to anyone else?

Way cool!! What kind of yarn did she use?
Re: Late Roman Sock from Egypt (My Mum\'s Fabrica) - Peroni - 06-27-2006
Very nice Faventianvs! Colours are not to my personal tastes though, whatever the original was like!
I do hope you have another just like it and not just the one? :wink:
Re: Late Roman Sock from Egypt (My Mum\'s Fabrica) - FAVENTIANVS - 06-29-2006
Yes Peroni, I have another one!!! :wink: :lol:
Lepidina, by yarn you mean the pattern?
Re: Late Roman Sock from Egypt (My Mum\'s Fabrica) - Peroni - 06-29-2006
Yarn = wool type
What weight wool/yarn?
