Subject: [SCA-AE] articles of interest

Yesterday I received my fall issue of Spin off magazine, normally I find
good stuff in this magazine but  just of interest to spinners, knitters and
felters. This issue contains some exceptional articles of more interest to
those in the SCA. 

First, is the article "The House that Genghis Built"  The author of this
article went to the Gobi desert and has documented with photos the process
of making a felt covering for a ger. It is a well written article and great
pictures.

There is also an article on spindle whorls with pictures of artifact whols
that date as early as 1500 BCE and as late as 1500 CE.  This article is
called Touching Time, Finding and using "pre-owned" spindle whorls. 

Spin off is published by Interweave Press and some Borders and Barnes and
Noble bookstores carry it as well as many knitting shops.
