| Fortune-Teller Turban |
The G*psy Turban has a new name. Thanks to a fellow pattern designer, I have been made aware that the Roma people currently consider "G*psy" to be a pejorative term.* So I have changed the name to reflect the actual inspiration for the design: Fortune-Teller Turban.
Paintings of fortune-tellers from the Middle Ages gave me the images that served as models for the two patterns, which I published in 2009. So voila--new name!
Now, the knitted G*psy Turban is called the Fortune-Teller Turban.
And the G*psy Turban in Crochet is now called the Fortune-Teller Turban in Crochet.
Done. I feel better--do you?
