She’d noticed earlier that the embroidery on one of the blankets had unravelled a little and she’d decided that she could spend the time usefully by fixing it.

De Sède, well known for his rationalism, usefully specifies it isn't certainly necessary to believe this kind of legend, as the heir had probably fallen in coma next to the hunting accident. The affair ends, after some historians (not cited), with ...

(link to flickr pic of half-finished project) Usefully, I did learn (halfway through the project!) how to 'weave in' your carrying yarn, so it doesn't draggle and create big loops in the back. A clever skill! The finished item is very cute, and, ...
