Tonight Eleanor and Katherine of Glastonbury came over and patterned stockings - with duct tape! There was also quite a lot of giggling.
Eleanor led the process, having patterned using this method before. First she showed us what to do by using Katherine's leg as a model, and enlisting my help for marking in the foot patterning, then once Katherine was done, she took a turn at duct taping/patterning Eleanor's leg.

The lesson plan this week was to go over some of the easier dances for Ginevra and then the dances that we do not know well from the CF ball list.
Present: Anna de Wilde, William de Cameron, Katherine of Glastonbury, Caterine de Vantier and Ginevra Isabella da Serafino Visconti.
Open hour
Advanced hour
Today we had Lady Ginevra Isabella da Serafino Visconti visiting from Southron Gaard. She is up visiting for just over a week, and came along to mingle with the fine company that regularly attend. Catalina took the time to show her how she works stem stitch, and they were able to chat about embroidery techniques for some time.
My lesson plan for this evening was 15th Century dances and a 16th century dance. These dances are on the CF ball list.
Present: Anna de Wilde, William de Cameron, Katherine of Glastonbury and William de Wyke
I think next week we will continue with more 15th Century.
As usual, my lesson plan was easy. Lets practice dances from the Canterbury Faire Ball list.
Present: Anna de Wilde, Caterine de Vantier, William de Cameron, Katherine of Glastonbury, Adam.
Advanced hour
I think next week I will attempt to teach some of the basse dance and some other 15th Century
This afternoon's A&S happened at Birkdale Community House, which is also used regularly for dance practices. It was ungarbed, with a potluck dinner. Everyone enjoyed a pleasant afternoon, with a great variety of activities taking place.
As usual at this time of year, much of our practise is devoted to making sure we know everything on the CF ball list thoroughly.
A few dances are entirely new to us, others we've not done for several years, or never very often. Many we know well, of course, but there's plenty for us to learn.
Present: Katherine of Glastonbury, Caterine de Vantier, Anna de Wilde, William de Cameron, Katherina Weyssin
