There I saw one of the employees crafting with a bone needle and wool. She explained that this was Thu, 28 Aug 2008 04:51:50 GMT alixtiberga http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nalbinding/message/4349 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nalbinding/message/4349 Most of the socks of this style are from the same time frame, there where also socks that did not have the seperate big toe section.

I would think that the only children that would "qualify" for completely solid socks would be the children of "wealthy or royal" Thu, 28 Aug 2008 02:03:45 GMT rocco NORTON http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nalbinding/message/4347 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nalbinding/message/4347 Sounds reasonable to me. Was thinking of doing a pair for my grandmonster out of left over ends from tablet weaving and other projects. He's only 1 1/2 so I Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:53:48 GMT Scherbatskoy Family http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nalbinding/message/4346 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nalbinding/message/4346 From the research I have done in the SCA the adult socks are almost always solid while the children's socks are stripped or multi colored in some way. My Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:46:11 GMT Randal http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nalbinding/message/4345 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nalbinding/message/4345 Where in MN are you Mary?  I live in western WI and belong to the SCA.  We are having a demo event 11 am to 5 pm this Sat., Aug. 30th in Galesville, WI.  I Thu, 28 Aug 2008 01:26:29 GMT rocco NORTON http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nalbinding/message/4344 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nalbinding/message/4344 Thanks Alix. That would make them pre Viking (which is my period of interest) but hey, kids have always had socks too. Right? I really like the striping on Wed, 27 Aug 2008 22:38:19 GMT alixtiberga http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nalbinding/message/4343 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nalbinding/message/4343 I belive that the childs sock shown is the one at the New walk Museum, if it is then the date on it is 5 th century, it was found at Shaikh Abada, Antinoe, Wed, 27 Aug 2008 21:33:33 GMT rocco NORTON http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nalbinding/message/4342 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nalbinding/message/4342 Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures with us. Much to mull over and try to copy. One question, is there any period listed on the children's sock?
