This shingled cottage, now let as a bed and breakfast, was built around 1880 as a carriage house in the rear yard of a large Victorian but was converted to a rental unit around the turn of the century.
This morning's project/test is a six strand skjoldehamn braid with 4 threads per strand for bulk.
The goal is trim testing for tunics. This pattern is taken from the Skjoldehamn find, with instructions from Wyrd Kindred. Will be tossing this in the wash on hot to see how it shrinks on the recommendation of ye tumblr SCAdia hive mind. 19 inches at start
Hottest setting inside of a delicate bag. Lost almost 2 inches but holy crap look at those ends! @sca-nerd Update: I'm not sure if this is a good idea to use on the linen tunics. I think I'll limit this to my hand wash items only.
Even though the strip is still weekly, I want to play with more ongoing storylines, so this is the beginning of a 3-strip sequence surrounding Poe's need for a trim. It's amazing how the fur makes him look MUCH larger than he actually is. In reality, he is a VERY SKINNY puppers. lol
