Yeah, yeah, all the textile and fibre arts lead to each other, we all became trapped here long ago.
The danger zone is when they lead out of textile and fibre arts, into agriculture and woodworking and smithing and beyond.
EVERYONE SHOW ME YOUR PROJECTS. You made your own spindles, needles, loom? You planted flax or woad? Something about programming and knitting machines? You plan to forge I don't even know what? If it's not a fibre art but fibre arts sent you there then I want to see!
Got interested in fiber arts as a teen. => Got into larp as a young adult. => Switched from larp to the SCA during COVID. => Found out what Laurels are, became instant besties with a fiber arts Laurel. => Became her apprentice, which allows me to spend time with her at her house in northern Sweden if I need to between SCA events. => Her boyfriend is a blacksmith (who later got Laureled for blacksmithing). => We forged an axe together in a cold, dark, miserable 1700s smithy. I know it's a long story but there you have it.
