Just to let you know I am not dead

  Wow, it has been 3 months since last I posted here. I am a bad, bad blogger. It's a good thing I am not trying for any awards or whatever.
  Onward...
  I finished the linen towels and they look great! I can't wait to sell them and get money for more yarn!


  Isn't that a cool pattern?  It's called Viking Twill because it is a pattern developed from a scrap found in a Viking burial. Can you imagine some Olga in her Viking hall weaving this fabric for her lord or lady? Sitting next to a smoky fire, listening to wind or rain outside after a long day of cleaning, baking, and taking care of children the hard way (without Xbox, disposable diapers and internet)?
  I clearly am very imaginative tonight.
  This is what makes history interesting to me, the people behind the dates and places and dry facts they try to make us memorize in school.
