[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Crafts of the Middle Ages

[hosbornejr at gmail.com]

Good Morning Jewel, first of all, welcome back to the group.
How about knitting or crocheting?
I do believe that these crafts have been around since the middle ages.
I know that knitting was done by ancient mariners who knitted to mend their nets or to pass the time on long sea voyages.
I like to knit, crochet and loom knit.

Hi Jewel.
I know spinning and weaving have been around for millennia.  A drop spindle is easy to get, and not real expensive.  
I think people in the Middle East have been knitting for a long time, but not sure when it came over to Europe.
Pottery has been around a very long time, too, and so has wood carving and leatherwork.
HTH.
Tracy

Dear list,
my nameisJewel and I am a long-time Federationist who just rejoined this list with my new e-mail address. My queestion is this: 
I want to rejoin the society for Creative anachronism and do crafts, but I’m not sure what medieval crafts would work for a totally blind person. Any ideas/ I know I cansew  and felt wool, so those are not ruled out, but I was looking for other ideas, too. Thanks!
~Jewel
