OK, while I understand that some kind of identifier can be handy, I have
a couple of problems with the caps in general.
First,I simply am involved with too many things, and don't want to go
around with 15 various tags on my person...*G* It would get a bit
visually noisy! LOL! (Yes, I've had this discussion elsewhere.)
While a garment reduces some aspects of that noise, it presents its own
problems. We play a very wide variety of personae from many times and
countries. I'm having trouble picturing anything that Gabrielle and Brid
would both logically wear, to pick two examples I know span more than
1000 years, and that's before we start worrying about those who do not
come from western Europe!
We also have chosen to cover a very wide range of techniques. Although I
technically am capable of knitting - I have done it - it is not my
preferred medium, and I bet there are some people here who don't knit at
all. It doesn't make sense for me to spend my time struggling with
something I'm not good at, don't want, and won't wear...
I mean, everyone else is welcome to do what they want to do, but...
