[Ponte Alto] Lucet Class

[Mary Bowles]

Sorry Jim,
 
The lady with the Lucet was our Baroness Belepheabe. I was the one trying to keep everyone in order, the Seneschal.  Good luck with the Luceting I'll see you on Friday at Perenelle's. :)
 
YIS,
Lady Maria-Therese de Normand
Seneschal, Ponte Alto

Thank you very much, that is something that had not occured to me, I 
suppose it must rest comfortably in her hand and be easy to use as I saw 
(I think it was you) at the last buisness meeting.... it is an 
intriguing tool....

I have always been amazed at how hard it is to be simple.....

I keep thinking as to how long the loom and weaving were widely 
available... then came knitting & crocheting....

One little tool that can make an entire garment... so simple to use and 
so hard to conceptualize....

Of course knitting needles are better, you can both make garments and 
keep the men in line
