speaking of a dress fashioned by the new taylor in town, she says:
It was a golden green color, the color of sunlight-dappled leaves, of modest stgle, but well cut and flattering, its whisks and handstrimmed in a Genoa lace.
whisketis also used.. but it is something different, since it seems to be portable, and a basket or some sort of bag, you encounter lines about 'removed the oat cakes from my whisket..,and 'set down my whisket'
...which could be a challenge if you have a bit of a sticky one.
Scottish Oat Cakes
2 C plus 2 T oatmeal
1/2 t baking soda
salt
1 oz butter, melted
Approximately 6 T water
Preheat the oven to 350.
Combine 2 cups of the oatmeal with the baking soda and a pinch of salt. Add the melted butter and the water, a tablespoon at a time, until you have a stiff but pliable dough.
Spread the remaining 2 T oatmeal on a pastry board and roll out the dough to approximately 1/8 inch thickness. Using a wine glass, cut the dough into 3-inch rounds.
Bake the rounds on a greased baking sheet for 15 minutes or until they begin to turn a golden brown color. Turn off the heat and leave them in the oven with the door open for 5 more minutes. Allow to cool and store in an airtight container.
Makes approximately 12.
Ah, sticky whisket?
