I know why I didn't, though--I thought I remembered that it mentioned the item but didn't say anything about it (unlikely, since the bibliography says it was last updated in 1997). <br /><br />At least it's good to know I'm not crazy, and because you provided a link to the Lund museum site I can try to find out more there.

Confusing crochet with knitting is common, as is confusing crochet with nalebinding.Cathy Raymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580681386443534011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670213486548123819.post-38210816160381223722011-03-01T09:40:18.458-05:002011-03-01T09:40:18.458-05:00Just a dedicated needlecrafter's eye...I'd...Just a dedicated needlecrafter's eye...I'd second the comment above. That definitely looks like applique; I can't see any embroidery in the picture either. It leads me to question exactly how knowledgeable Graham-Campbell is about such techniques. Confusing embroidery with applique is not an unusual mistake among those who don't actually *do* crafts, on the same order (sadly) as confusing crochet with knitting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670213486548123819.post-84397760892217048002011-03-01T03:52:30.514-05:002011-03-01T03:52:30.514-05:00From Carolyn Priest-Dorman's annotated bibliog...From Carolyn Priest-Dorman's annotated bibliography<br />(http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~capriest/vikgarment.html)<br /><br />Says it "is actually appliqué work and not embroidery at all."<br /><br />The catalogue at the back of "The Vikings" (p. 197) lists it as coming from <a href="http://www.kulturen.com/" rel="nofollow">Kulturen i Lund</a> museum, with the ID number KM 53436:517.<br /><br />Sorry its not much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
