[SCA-AE] making cords

[kathy kemmish]

I have just got into Lucet cording myself, and I am using plain, simple
embroidery floss, as well as the crochet cotton.  However, I have had a few
of the strands break when using the embroidery floss, but I don't know if
it's something common, or if its just because I'm using embroidery floss
that I've had sitting in a box for .... uh... over a decade?  (I'm trying to
get rid of it!)

Either way, I know that I will be at both White Hart and Blackstone Raids,
and I think Lady Mugain Inghean Ui Bhraonain (Lady Mun) will also be at both
events.  Lady Mun is who taught me the basics.
