Intro post

[medievalrosalie]

Hi Everyone! I've recently subscribed to this group but realised I hadn't actually joined, so I read the rules and joined today. This is a short post to say hi and introduce myself. I've met some of you on the Daily Check In already!

I'm a medieval fangirl, I guess, from Australia. I do a lot of hand sewing of medieval clothes, making buttons, sewing eyelets, that kind of thing. I'm really slow at it but I always seem to be finishing something because there are so many things on the go.

Last year a book I wrote hit the shelves, so the journal here was to replace my LJ which has ads. I post more random craft stuff over there, but this journal is my proper one which feeds the RSS. I'll be posting what I'm working on- woodwork, painting, sewing in the daily check ins.

I've got a bunch of sewing type tutorials on fb and my website and quite frankly I need more sleep. Thanks for having me here. . :)

Hello, it's lovely to meet you properly. I'm very impressed with all your crafting.

[medievalrosalie]

Nice to meet you too! I admire your work! I can't knit or crochet so I take my hat off to anyone who can.

Very happy to have you here, so many fascinating and different craft projects to see and admire! Medieval crafting is something I'd never come across before and I'm really enjoying seeing the things you make. Keep them coming!

I think one of the easiest medieval crafts is luceting, and I encourage everyone to try it. It's like using a knitting bee only with a device which looks like a slingshot and it produces a neat square braid (not tubular like a shoelace) which is handy for a million other craft projects. :)

Ooooh, I might have to investigate that! Do you know of any helpful videos showing how to do it?

[medievalrosalie]

I have a tutorial!

Oooh, wonderful! I'll watch that when I get the chance! I've saved the link so I can find it again.

It's not a video, it's just pictures step by step for the video-challenged crafter who has trouble freeze framing all the time. Videos are great but I often can't keep up!

[badly_knitted]

Even better! I have trouble keeping up with videos too.
