Knit in Shining Armor

On my last visit to Janet Kemp's shop. I spotted a shawl that she had made that combined EROS Glitz and sock yarn. I thought I'd give it a try using one skein of each for a smaller triangle. In the process, I Iearned that the word "kerchief" is archaic, because when I told my daughter what I was making, she said , "Kerchief? Is that like some sort of bandanna??"  I immediately imagined a flashback of me as a child looking up at my Russian grandmother and saying "Bubushka? Is that some kind of kerchief??" And actually now that its done, I am wondering what they would have called it in Medieval times because it came out looking an awful lot like chainmail.
