Why can you not fully trust the Bayeux Tapestry?
We do not trust the Bayeux Tapestry because it was written from a Norman point of view, this means that the Normans could have exaggerated their victory or left out great things that the Saxons did. They did this to make themselves sound greater and more powerful than they actually were. As a result of this, it made viewers think of the Normans as alot better than the Saxons.
How do you do tapestry crochet?
Tapestry crochet is a way of crocheting, generally done by using single crochet stitches. With Tapestry Crochet, the crocheter is also making a pattern using two or more colors of thread or yarn to create a colorful pattern or design. The finished tapestry crochet project often looks woven due to using just single crochet stitches. Tapestry crochet also is done without "turning" your work, you word with the front side always facing you. This is why it is often used to make cylindrical projects, such as baskets. It can also be used to make flat pieces, such as wall hangings, or rugs--again, you wouldn't really "turn" your work from one row to the next.
Why is bayeux tapestry not really a tapestry?
The definition of tapestry is: tap·es·try n.pl. tap·es·tries1. A heavy cloth woven with rich, often varicolored designs or scenes, usually hung on walls for decoration and sometimes used to cover furniture.2. Something felt to resemble a richly and complexly designed cloth: the tapestry of world history.tr.v. tap·es·tried (--strd), tap·es·try·ing, tap·es·tries (--strz)(from the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.)Technically, because the designs are embroidered onto the background and not woven into the fabric, the Bayeux Tapestry is actually an embroidery and not a tapestry. Among pictorial cloths of this scale, tapestries are far more common than embroideries, as the tapestry is woven on a loom while the process of embroidering stitch-by-stitch usually lends itself more to small-scale works. Because of this, many people have come to associate the term tapestry with all large scale pictorial cloths whose design is carried out by thread, without realizing the difference between the threads being part of the woven fabric versus being embroidered onto an already existing cloth. In the case of the Bayeux Tapestry, the term was incorrectly applied because of this lack of distinction, but it has been retained largely for the sake of tradition and its popularity.1 1 R. Howard Bloch, A Needle in the Right Hand of God: The Norman Conquest of 1066 and the Making and Meaning of the Bayeux Tapestry (New York: Random House, 2006), xiii-xiv.

The Tapestry includes pictures of 626 people, 190 horses, 37 ships and 33 buildings. It is believed that Bishop Odo, William the Conqeror's half-brother, organised the making of the tapestry. The embroidery was probably produced by a group of English needle workers.

Where did the info come from for Bayeux Tapestry?
i think that William of normandys brother told some women to sew it. so it was from the normans point of view. The winners write the history books. __________________________________________________________ The origin of the Bayeux Tapestry was William's wife Mathilde who had sewn it with a few other women. The tapestry depicts the Battle of Hastings 1066 ___________________________________________________________ Actually, no one really knows who commissioned it. The best evidence lies with Bishop Odo of Bayeux being the commissioner since he shows up at least three times in the narrative where as Matilda does not. Also, it was found in storage in the Cathedral of Bayeux in 1476, a cathedral commissioned by Bishop Odo of Bayeux, William's half brother, in 1077. Secondly, it could have also been from the Anglo Saxon point of view as well. Many images throughout the tapestry point to and Anglo Saxon hand in it, namely, the throne on which Edward the Confessor sits in the first panel. The dog head motif is definitely Anglo Saxon. Though most of the architecture is Romanesque, the depiction of Bosham, the baronial castle of Harold, is Anglo Saxon. The tapestry not only depicts the Battle of Hastings, it also shows the events of two years prior leading up to the Battle.
