As far as I know, Chinese started the enamel thing, and I don't think anyone else even attempted it until probably sometime in the late 19th century - it was much easier to buy/kidnap/steel Chinese artisans.debsnmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17023150694076405052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21397483.post-91130185616968773622007-04-02T03:27:00.000-05:002007-04-02T03:27:00.000-05:00They reshow that programme (I assume it's the same...They reshow that programme (I assume it's the same, presented by Tony Robinson?) every so often here, so I presume that you'd get it reshown there!

OCD is not a "disorder" -- it's the urge to cut tiny pieces of garnet to exact shapes without having any idea what garnet is or what you would use it for! It's the urge to make a net using hundreds and thousands of the exact same knot, without any idea that netmaking exists. It's the urge to knit without having any idea how to knit.

I think we need a judge's ruling on this one.<BR/><BR/>I've gotta get that book. I have too little EZ in my life.<BR/><BR/>You're not making me want to get to the sleeves, you know? I'm picturing long, slow periods of knitting to be endured rather than enjoyed. <BR/><BR/>I wish I had interesting stuff to watch late at night. I was up til 1am and just watched a bad movie (on DVD no less, not even on TV because the choices there were worese). Those are amazing. Garnet is incredibly beautiful, as is all that stuff. So beautiful infact that I can forgive you for not including any baby photos in this post.Bellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961733332080072331noreply@blogger.com
