Oh, dear god...neglected blog has been woefully neglected!
...but fear not, intrepid reader! Where 2019 was The Year of Getting my Real Life S*&t Together, 2020 will be The Year of Historic Projects.
To be fair, I knocked out a couple of scrolls a few months ago, so I'll do a proper write up of them soon. Meanwhile, I'm doing what many re-enactors do...couldn't find my gloves, and my hands were cold, so I've started to knit a pair of Museum of London-style mittens for myself! A write-up of that will come, too, although these are more "solve an immediate modern problem in a stylish way" than "make them as period as possible."
I was also gifted some extraordinary embroidery silks, and am researching some potential uses.
Also, also, I'm having a look at the Drachenwald A&S Competition requirements, and considering throwing my hat in the ring.
We'll see how all this shakes out. But I do intend to post more here, this year, as things progress.
Thanks for sticking with me!
