[Ek_fiber] Another Intro

[Robin Howard]

There are several pix in Rutt's History of Handknitting, and a pretty 
explicit description of the Monmouth cap--the "Welsh wig."  2-ply, knitted 
at a gauge of 1 st. per cm, cast on was about 59 stitches.  Don't know if 
ladies wore them, though.  The first knitting guild, the cappers, were all 
guys.
