[Ansteorra-Textiles] Introduction

[Carolle M. Cox]

Welcome, Yelena!  
It sounds as though you have a great start on textile work, and the support
of a House is always an extra plus.

My textile -um-hobbies include knitting and sewing.  I've dyed a bit of
yarn, but don't really have the space to do a good job of it.  This spring,
with luck, I'll plant some Flax.  I think the linen retting process may
annoy my neighbor, but things like that happen!  I've knitted several
medieval reconstructions like Eleanor de Toledo's stockings, and am happily
off trying to come up with a pattern for a fragment in a museum although
pattern-making is only something I do well in clothing construction.

Ask any questions you may have - someone here will surely chime in.

Hello all, 

My name is Yelena Novgoroda and I'm new to this list. I just stumbled upon
it today and immediately signed up. I reside within the Barony of Northkeep
(Tulsa, OK) in the northern part of Ansteorra. I'm also interested in dyeing
fibers. I'm part of a small Household within the Barony. In our Household,
the majority of the women are all knitters, crocheters, needlepointers,
spinners, weavers, etc., so we keep each other inspired and motivated. We
have mainly worked on mundane projects, but have discussed working on
SCA-appropriate projects. Maybe this list will give us some ideas and/or
starting points. As for me, I've crocheted for years, but just learned how
to knit, spin and inkle weave a few years ago. I'm definitely still learning
on all of those skills, but love it! 

Yelena
