The cool, gilded elegance of the Durazzo-Giustiniani archive in Genoa, where I have been reading the household account books of a sixteenth-century noblewoman.

About Me
- Drop Stitches Not Bombs
- I am Giulia, and I lead a vagabond existence dragging my knitting between Edinburgh, Cambridge, London and various other places. I am currently finishing up a PhD (on the history of clothing) so I don't get to blog as often as I'd like, but will pop back here when I can to update my adventures in stitchery. My Ravelry ID is DropStsNotBombs - feel free to friend me!
Oooo! would so love to be doing that :) Wonder if you have any reading recommendations for basic European 17thC textile history? My next *big* project *may* be about the representation of textiles in early modern French lit :)
ReplyDeleteOh - gorgeous, and your research sounds fascinating!
