Re: Dog types in Medieval/Tudor/Stuart times
To continue the cuba, and share the hound love, another vote for adopting an ex racer here! Our Irish Greyhound came to us with the usual baldy bum, tum, thighs and tail, a bag of skin and bones, covered in scars and a few bits and bobs missing. From this lost and lonely little boy http://img.photob...

If your group have specifically recommended a seller, it would probably be best to get in touch with someone from your group to ensure your purchase meets the saftey standards required by your group. Not worth risking your he...

Re: Yorkshire dressmaker
Silly question, but did you leave messages for them on their voicemail?
Due to the nature of their work, sometimes they can't just stop and answer the phone. They could be beneath many yards of fabric or measuring a client.

Re: Anyone got advice on how to air...
Ooh sounds lovely. Is it real or synthetic astrakhan? I just picked up a tip about using bran to revive a "greasy" fur coat that we have in the shop. It apparently works like dry shampoos for hair, so potentially could remove smells too. But no idea if it really works, maybe hang on till I've had a ...

Very good prices too in my opinion.
Def do a test swatch first! Mine shrank from a 4"x4" square to 3.5" across and 3" down.
Had to do some maths solving that I hadnt done since GCSEs!!

When I knitted the scots bonnet, i was very good and knit and felted a swatch first and from that worked out how large I had to knit! Was very concerned when i finished knitting as it was bigger than the bag I'd been carrying it in! When it went in the machine I did make a small prayer to the knitti...

Hello noramunro, great tosee you on here! I'm sorry if my post was misconstrued, I love the hood, and am going to knit myself one regardless :D Evidence for this kind of thing is so hard to find, due to the nature of the materials, there is nothing to be found as opposed to metal or pottery items!
