Behold, my derpy child, who shall be used for warfare.

(Will be used in SCA war scenarios where one side needs to steal sheep from the other side.)

Making some finger guards for archery, because why not avoid several other projects at once for a new one!

I HAVE MADE SHOES. I used thinner leather as this is more of a trial run and used this tutorial on Instructables.

I need longer laces but we make do with what we have.

Behold; my cloak*.

*Some assembly required.

Flicked open the tips, washed, flicked open fully, sorted into categories by feel/length, and ready for further processing. Am I going to hand card, drum card or spin from what I have? Not a clue, one step at a time.

Note to self, next fleeces get sorted during skirting and pulling apart for further processing and storage. There is such different consistency between different parts of this fleece and I am learning a lot from my mistakes.

I am about halfway through the white fleece with a large ram's fleece and some yearling lambs shears in the yellow bags.

*More muffled screaming from a pile of wool.*

I have completed my first pewter casting. They're for a personal bit, meant to look unpolished. It is the goblin stance.

[notquitebilateral]

A very janky set up.

But! Look at that beautiful 3 ply!

PINS

Not bad for a first time.
