I've been a re-enactor for 12 years or so and am all about the living history and crafts. In the course of my crafty viking endeavours, I've often found it frustrating looking for information on the internet. You see a great outfit on Pinterest, but after following a series of links all you can find out is that it was "based on a find". But what find? How much of the original item was found? How much of the awesome outfit is conjecture? Enquiring minds need to know.
This blog will hopefully come to feature lots of my kit items, with my research, references and an honest appraisal of the bits I've just added because they look cool, damn it.
I'm really interested in talking to anyone who is likewise trying to navigate the nightmare of historical accuracy, so please feel free to contact me in the comments.

Hello, stranger! I just recognized your face from a Pinterest pin, and I was really excited to see you have a blog! Now that I have been sucked into the SCA world I am reading lots of garb blogs and yours is so lovely. Looking forward to reading more! <3

Dear Dagrun,
ReplyDeleteI'm also a 9th century Dane just entering the world of reenacting in New Hampshire, USA. I'm following with interest and wish you the best.
