== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
I actually attended my first SCA event in 1989 after having met some folks at a demo. All that said, we were just two teens in green tabards soaking it all in. Since then realistically I have been in and out dropping by the odd event here and there until the past couple of years as my Wife, [[Ástríðr Sægeirsdottir]] and I have become more and more involved.<br />
<br />
I find myself enjoying [[Target Archery|Archery]], [[Thrown Weapons]] and learning all the things. I do believe I am a true dabbler (I am tempted to create a 'Things I've Tried' list but I don't know if there is enough room.)<br />

[[Category:11th Century Personas]]<br />
[[Category:English Personas]]<br />
Alric the Younger is from 11th century England. While I have not nailed down much more than that, I do know that I would like to explore the history of 'travelers' during that time period. How safe was it to explore the different lands and areas? Could the common person do just that? I think that this would go a long way to developing a persona that truly likes to dabble in one area or another, as opposed to settling down into a single profession. As I research the Anglo Saxon world a bit more, I may choose a slightly earlier time but we will see.<br />
<br />
I am finding that I am enjoying both woodworking and toolmaking, and my current 'big' project is to research and construct a pole lathe appropriate to the time. It is possible that turners also traveled from town to town as evidenced by wooden bowls that were 'repaired' after a crack, rather than replaced. I am thinking that this means the turner wasn't always around to make a new one... but please for the moment, don't quote me on that.<br />

* Arrows<br />
::I will remember finishing the tips of these in the hotel room the night before a Great Northeastern War and not getting a chance to use them the following day. <br />
* A couple of Javelins<br />
::These really turned out to be Irish throwing darts (is what I think someone called them, but they have spurred me to make some others.<br />
* A Haithabu Bag AS-L<br />
::What was great about this project is that it was the first time I wrote some documentation for an item. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sQPsdWWtN8SCufZmsTkwUjL3J9f1lqarl9blimYM1Ug/edit?usp=sharing Documentation]<br />
* A six-panel hat - AS-LI<br />
::Constructed using the leftover material from the Haithabu Bag, this too is all hand stitched. The wool outer shell and the linen lining are assembled. I have added an embroidered band around the brim and stitched it down in place.<br />
*Skjoldehamn Inspired Hood - June AS-LII<br />
::As it figures, now that I've built this hood I found another document that makes me want to start it all over again. This hood started out in white linen which I dyed using modern dyes. I then used a natural linen thread to blanket stitch the edges. The seams are sewn with a silk thread.<br />
* A new linen tunic<br />
::For the longest time, this has been sitting around half-constructed as I really didn't like the 'teal' color of the material. I finally have found RIT Dye remover[https://www.ritstudio.com/techniques/the-basics/rit-color-remover/] and it has removed much of the green leaving it a very pleasant blue. While not completely finished, I will someday add some embroidered trim.<br />
*Nålebinding<br />
::I have struggled with this craft for years and reached an Ah Ha Moment at the Market Day at Birka, 2018 during a very informal class. Thicker Yarn (as also suggested by another,) and the Finnish 2+2 Stitch made all the difference in the world. A second class about a month later was also just as helpful as I had a few more specific questions and this teacher was able to add a few other tricks to the table. I now have a Travelers hat!<br />
*Pants, Pants, and More Pants - Based on the Thorsbjerg Trousers<br />
::Due to Baronial Decree - I have finished a pair of heavy wool trousers and two pairs of Linnen. The Wool pair is all hand sewn while the other two relied on the machine.<br />
*Frame Saw<br />
::Finally complete, this frame saw has my first real attempt at carving.<br />
<br />
====Projects====<br />
*Pole Lathe<br />
::Make some tools - make a lathe - make a bowl - break a bowl - repair the bowl.<br />
*Winingas<br />
::Thanks to [[Albreda Aylese]] for lending me a 4 shaft Jack loom, I'll be able to start these after completing a couple of learning projects.<br />
*Too many projects<br />
::I"m really a dabbler at heart. Aisles of Marche 2022 has kind of inspired me after a long drought due in part to the plague.<br />
<br />
====Future Projects (in no particular order)====<br />
*Sprang<br />
::I bought a great book at Birka 2018 that I hope will inspire me to try this again sooner than later.<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
I actually attended my first SCA event in 1989 after having met some folks at a demo. All that said, we were just two teens in green tabards soaking it all in. Since then realistically I have been in and out dropping by the odd event here and there until the past couple of years as my Wife, [[Ástríðr Sægeirsdottir]] and I have become more and more involved.<br />
<br />
I find myself enjoying [[Target Archery|Archery]], [[Thrown Weapons]] and learning all the things. I do believe I am a true dabbler (I am tempted to create a 'Things I've Tried' list but I don't know if there is enough room.) In June - AS LII, I signed up to be an Archery Marshall in Training to help run a new local archery practice.<br />

== Persona ==<br />
[[Category:11th Century Personas]]<br />
[[Category:English Personas]]<br />
Alric the Younger is from 11th century England. While I have not nailed down much more than that, I do know that I would like to explore the history of 'travelers' during that time period. How safe was it to explore the different lands and areas? Could the common person do just that? I think that this would go a long way to developing a persona that truly likes to dabble in one area or another, as opposed to settling down into a single profession. As I research the Anglo Saxon world a bit more, I may choose a slightly earlier time but we will see.<br />
<br />
I am finding that I am enjoying both woodworking and toolmaking, and my current 'big' project is to research and construct a pole lathe appropriate to the time. It is possible that turners also traveled from town to town as evidenced by wooden bowls that were 'repaired' after a crack, rather than replaced. I am thinking that this means the turner wasn't always around to make a new one... but please for the moment, don't quote me on that.<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
I actually attended my first SCA event in 1989 after having met some folks at a demo. All that said, we were just two teens in green tabards soaking it all in. Since then realistically I have been in and out dropping by the odd event here and there until the past couple of years as my Wife, [[Ástríðr Sægeirsdottir]] and I have become more and more involved.<br />
<br />
I find myself enjoying [[Target Archery|Archery]], [[Thrown Weapons]] and learning all the things. I do believe I am a true dabbler (I am tempted to create a 'Things I've Tried' list but I don't know if there is enough room.) In June - AS LII, I signed up to be an Archery Marshall in Training to help run a new local archery practice.<br />

[[Category:11th Century Personas]]<br />
[[Category:English Personas]]<br />
Alric the Younger is from 11th century England. While I have not nailed down much more than that, I do know that I would like to explore the history of 'travelers' during that time period. How safe was it to explore the different lands and areas? Could the common person do just that? I think that this would go a long way to developing a persona that truly likes to dabble in one area or another, as opposed to settling down into a single profession. As I research the Anglo Saxon world a bit more, I may choose a slightly earlier time but we will see.<br />
<br />
I am finding that I am enjoying both woodworking and toolmaking, and my current 'big' project is to research and construct a pole lathe appropriate to the time. It is possible that turners also traveled from town to town as evidenced by wooden bowls that were 'repaired' after a crack, rather than replaced. I am thinking that this means the turner wasn't always around to make a new one... but please for the moment, don't quote me on that.<br />

* Arrows<br />
::I will remember finishing the tips of these in the hotel room the night before a Great Northeastern War and not getting a chance to use them the following day. <br />
* A couple of Javelins<br />
::These really turned out to be Irish throwing darts (is what I think someone called them, but they have spurred me to make some others.<br />
* A Haithabu Bag AS-L<br />
::What was great about this project is that it was the first time I wrote some documentation for an item. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sQPsdWWtN8SCufZmsTkwUjL3J9f1lqarl9blimYM1Ug/edit?usp=sharing Documentation]<br />
* A six-panel hat - AS-LI<br />
::Constructed using the leftover material from the Haithabu Bag, this too is all hand stitched. The wool outer shell and the linen lining are assembled. I have added an embroidered band around the brim and stitched it down in place.<br />
*Skjoldehamn Inspired Hood - June AS-LII<br />
::As it figures, now that I've built this hood I found another document that makes me want to start it all over again. This hood started out in white linen which I dyed using modern dyes. I then used a natural linen thread to blanket stitch the edges. The seams are sewn with a silk thread.<br />
* A new linen tunic<br />
::For the longest time, this has been sitting around half-constructed as I really didn't like the 'teal' color of the material. I finally have found RIT Dye remover[https://www.ritstudio.com/techniques/the-basics/rit-color-remover/] and it has removed much of the green leaving it a very pleasant blue. While not completely finished, I will someday add some embroidered trim.<br />
*Nålebinding<br />
::I have struggled with this craft for years and reached an Ah Ha Moment at the Market Day at Birka, 2018 during a very informal class. Thicker Yarn (as also suggested by another,) and the Finnish 2+2 Stitch made all the difference in the world. A second class about a month later was also just as helpful as I had a few more specific questions and this teacher was able to add a few other tricks to the table. I now have a Travelers hat!<br />
*Pants, Pants, and More Pants - Based on the Thorsbjerg Trousers<br />
::Due to Baronial Decree - I have finished a pair of heavy wool trousers and two pairs of Linnen. The Wool pair is all hand sewn while the other two relied on the machine.<br />
*Frame Saw<br />
::Finally complete, this frame saw has my first real attempt at carving.<br />
<br />
====Current Projects====<br />
*Pole Lathe<br />
::Make some tools - make a lathe - make a bowl - break a bowl - repair the bowl.<br />
*Winingas<br />
::Thanks to [[Albreda Aylese]] for lending me a 4 shaft Jack loom, I'll be able to start these after completing a couple of learning projects.<br />
*In May of 2020 I'll be headed out on an overnight, Forester related reconnaissance/patrol class. in doing so I'll need to prep and make some more gear, learn a few cooking skills, and practice some fire-starting.<br />
<br />
====Future Projects (in no particular order)====<br />
*Sprang<br />
::I bought a great book at Birka 2018 that I hope will inspire me to try this again sooner than later.<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
I actually attended my first SCA event in 1989 after having met some folks at a demo. All that said, we were just two teens in green tabards soaking it all in. Since then realistically I have been in and out dropping by the odd event here and there until the past couple of years as my Wife, [[Ástríðr Sægeirsdottir]] and I have become more and more involved.<br />
<br />
I find myself enjoying [[Target Archery|Archery]], [[Thrown Weapons]] and learning all the things. I do believe I am a true dabbler (I am tempted to create a 'Things I've Tried' list but I don't know if there is enough room.) In June - AS LII, I signed up to be an Archery Marshall in Training to help run a new local archery practice.<br />

[[Category:English Personas]]<br />
Alric the Younger is from 11th century England. While I have not nailed down much more than that, I do know that I would like to explore the history of 'travelers' during that time period. How safe was it to explore the different lands and areas? Could the common person do just that? I think that this would go a long way to developing a persona that truly likes to dabble in one area or another, as opposed to settling down into a single profession. As I research the Anglo Saxon world a bit more, I may choose a slightly earlier time but we will see.<br />
<br />
I am finding that I am enjoying both woodworking and toolmaking, and my current 'big' project is to research and construct a pole lathe appropriate to the time. It is possible that turners also traveled from town to town as evidenced by wooden bowls that were 'repaired' after a crack, rather than replaced. I am thinking that this means the turner wasn't always around to make a new one... but please for the moment, don't quote me on that.<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
I actually attended my first SCA event in 1989 after having met some folks at a demo. All that said, we were just two teens in green tabards soaking it all in. Since then realistically I have been in and out dropping by the odd event here and there until the past couple of years as my Wife, [[Ástríðr Sægeirsdottir]] and I have become more and more involved.<br />
<br />
I find myself enjoying [[Target Archery|Archery]], [[Thrown Weapons]] and learning all the things. I do believe I am a true dabbler (I am tempted to create a 'Things I've Tried' list but I don't know if there is enough room.) In June - AS LII, I signed up to be an Archery Marshall in Training to help run a new local archery practice.<br />

[[Category:English Personas]]<br />
Alric the Younger is from 11th century England. While I have not nailed down much more than that, I do know that I would like to explore the history of 'travelers' during that time period. How safe was it to explore the different lands and areas? Could the common person do just that? I think that this would go a long way to developing a persona that truly likes to dabble in one area or another, as opposed to settling down into a single profession. As I research the Anglo Saxon world a bit more, I may choose a slightly earlier time but we will see.<br />
<br />
I am finding that I am enjoying both woodworking and toolmaking, and my current 'big' project is to research and construct a pole lathe appropriate to the time. It is possible that turners also traveled from town to town as evidenced by wooden bowls that were 'repaired' after a crack, rather than replaced. I am thinking that this means the turner wasn't always around to make a new one... but please for the moment, don't quote me on that.<br />

::As it figures, now that I've built this hood I found another document that makes me want to start it all over again. This hood started out in white linen which I dyed using modern dyes. I then used a natural linen thread to blanket stitch the edges. The seams are sewn with a silk thread.<br />
* A new linen tunic<br />
::For the longest time, this has been sitting around half constructed as I really didn't like the 'teal' color of the material.

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
Lady Ástríðr started attending local events in the early 1990's, with her husband, [[Alric the Younger]]. Mostly A Market Day at Birka and Legend's of Chivalry. Back in 2013, she decided to take her hobby to the next level by becoming an official member and hasn't looked back, since. She loves going to events where she can take a class on a craft or skill, that she wouldn't normally have access to. <br />
You can often find Ástríðr working on an embroidery project (or 3), helping Their Excellencies or helping find teachers for local events. <br />
At Birka 28, she was approached by Mistress Astryda Borowska and asked to become an apprentice. On May 27, AS 52, at Panteria XXII & King's & Queen's Equestrian Championships in Panthervale, Ástríðr officially became Mistress Astryda's apprentice. At that same event, she was called before Their (then) Majesties, Ionnes and Ro Honig and inducted into the Order of the Silver Brooch. <br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
I actually attended my first SCA event in 1989 after having met some folks at a demo. All that said, we were just two teens in green tabards soaking it all in. Since then realistically I have been in and out dropping by the odd event here and there until the past couple of years as my Wife, [[Ástríðr Sægeirsdottir]] and I have become more and more involved.<br />
<br />
I find myself enjoying [[Target Archery|Archery]], [[Thrown Weapons]] and learning all the things. I do believe I am a true dabbler (I am tempted to create a 'Things I've Tried' list but I don't know if there is enough room.) In June - AS LII, I signed up to be an Archery Marshall in Training to help run a new local archery practice.<br />

[[Category:English Personas]]<br />
Alric the Younger is from 11th century England. While I have not nailed down much more than that, I do know that I would like to explore the history of 'travelers' during that time period. How safe was it to explore the different lands and areas? Could the common person do just that? I think that this would go a long way to developing a persona that truly likes to dabble in one area or another, as opposed to settling down into a single profession. As I research the Anglo Saxon world a bit more, I may choose a slightly earlier time but we will see.<br />
<br />
I am finding that I am enjoying both woodworking and toolmaking, and my current 'big' project is to research and construct a pole lathe appropriate to the time. It is possible that turners also traveled from town to town as evidenced by wooden bowls that were 'repaired' after a crack, rather than replaced. I am thinking that this means the turner wasn't always around to make a new one... but please for the moment, don't quote me on that.<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
Lady Ástríðr started attending local events in the early 1990's, with her husband, [[Alric the Younger]]. Mostly A Market Day at Birka and Legend's of Chivalry. Back in 2013, she decided to take her hobby to the next level by becoming an official member and hasn't looked back, since. She loves going to events where she can take a class on a craft or skill, that she wouldn't normally have access to. <br />
You can often find Ástríðr working on an embroidery project (or 3), helping Their Excellencies or helping find teachers for local events. <br />
At Birka 28, she was approached by Mistress Astryda Borowska and asked to become an apprentice. On May 27, AS 52, at Panteria XXII & King's & Queen's Equestrian Championships in Panthervale, Ástríðr officially became Mistress Astryda's apprentice. At that same event, she was called before Their (then) Majesties, Ionnes and Ro Honig and inducted into the Order of the Silver Brooch. <br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
I actually attended my first SCA event in 1989 after having met some folks at a demo. All that said, we were just two teens in green tabards soaking it all in. Since then realistically I have been in and out dropping by the odd event here and there until the past couple of years as my Wife, [[Ástríðr Sægeirsdottir]] and I have become more and more involved.<br />
<br />
I find myself enjoying [[Target Archery|Archery]], [[Thrown Weapons]] and learning all the things. I do believe I am a true dabbler (I am tempted to create a 'Things I've Tried' list but I don't know if there is enough room.) In June - AS LII, I signed up to be an Archery Marshall in Training to help run a new local archery practice.<br />
<br />
== Persona ==<br />
[[Category:11th Century Personas]]<br />
[[Category:English Personas]]<br />
Alric the Younger is from 11th century England. While I have not nailed down much more than that, I do know that I would like to explore the history of 'travelers' during that time period. How safe was it to explore the different lands and areas? Could the common person do just that? I think that this would go a long way to developing a persona that truly likes to dabble in one area or another, as opposed to settling down into a single profession. As I research the Anglo Saxon world a bit more, I may choose a slightly earlier time but we will see.<br />
<br />
I am finding that I am enjoying both woodworking and toolmaking, and my current 'big' project is to research and construct a pole lathe appropriate to the time. It is possible that turners also traveled from town to town as evidenced by wooden bowls that were 'repaired' after a crack, rather than replaced. I am thinking that this means the turner wasn't always around to make a new one... but please for the moment, don't quote me on that.<br />
<br />
== Projects & Publications ==<br />
I now have a Blog! - [https://alrictheyounger.wordpress.com/ AlricTheYounger.wordpress.com]<br />
<br />
====Past Projects====<br />
I am looking for a better way to organize this but in the meantime in no particular order...<br />
[[File:AtY-Frame Saw.jpeg|200px|thumb|right|Frame Saw]]<br />
[[File:AtY-Nålebinding.jpeg|200px|thumb|right|The Start of a new hat]]<br />
[[File:AtY-Hood.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Skjoldehamn Hood]]<br />
[[File:AtY-6 Panel Hat inProgress 01.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Six-Panel Hat in Progress]]<br />
<!--<br />
[[File:AtY First Teneriffe lace.jpg|200px|thumb|right|My First piece of Teneriffe Lace]]<br />
--><br />
* Arrows<br />
::I will remember finishing the tips of these in the hotel room the night before a Great Northeastern War and not getting a chance to use them the following day. <br />
* A couple of Javelins<br />
::These really turned out to be Irish throwing darts (is what I think someone called them, but they have spurred me to make some others.<br />
* A Haithabu Bag AS-L<br />
::What was great about this project is that it was the first time I wrote some documentation for an item. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sQPsdWWtN8SCufZmsTkwUjL3J9f1lqarl9blimYM1Ug/edit?usp=sharing Documentation]<br />
* A six-panel hat - AS-LI<br />
::Constructed using the leftover material from the Haithabu Bag, this too is all hand stitched. The wool outer shell and the linen lining are assembled. I have added an embroidered band around the brim and stitched it down in place.<br />
*Skjoldehamn Inspired Hood - June AS-LII<br />
::As it figures, now that I've built this hood I found another document that makes me want to start it all over again. This hood started out in white linen which I dyed using modern dyes. I then used a natural linen thread to blanket stitch the edges. The seams are sewn with a silk thread.<br />
* A new linen tunic<br />
::For the longest time, this has been sitting around half constructed as I really didn't like the 'teal' color of the material. I finally have found RIT Dye remover[https://www.ritstudio.com/techniques/the-basics/rit-color-remover/] and it has removed much of the green leaving it a very pleasant blue. While not completly finished, I will someday add some embroidered trim.<br />
<br />
====Current Projects====<br />
*Nålebinding<br />
::I have struggled with this craft for years and reached an Ah Ha Moment at the Market Day at Birka, 2018 during a very informal class. Thicker Yarn (as also suggested by another,) and the Finnish 2+2 Stitch made all the difference in the world. I should have a Travelers hat in no time now. A second class about a month later was also just as helpful as I had a few more specific questions and this teacher was able to add a few other tricks to the table.<br />
*Pants<br />
:: I have a pair of heavy wool trousers just about ready to go - all they need is a hem at the legs.<br />
*Frame Saw<br />
::This too is nearing completion and while usable in its current state, I would like to add some carving to the handles.<br />
<br />
====Future Projects (in no particular order)====<br />
<br />
*Winingas<br />
::I really want to weave my own but am having difficulties trying to figure out the best method that will work for me.<br />
*Sprang<br />
::I bought a great book at Birka 2018 that I hope will inspire me to try this again sooner than later.<br />

Back in 2013, she decided to take her hobby to the next level by becoming an official member and hasn't looked back, since. She loves going to events where she can take a class on a craft or skill, that she wouldn't normally have access to. <br />
You can often find Ástríðr working on an embroidery project (or 3), helping Their Excellencies or helping find teachers for local events. <br />
At Birka 28, she was approached by Mistress Astryda Borowska and asked to become an apprentice. On May 27, AS 52, at Panteria XXII & King's & Queen's Equestrian Championships in Panthervale, Ástríðr officially became Mistress Astryda's apprentice. At that same event, she was called before Their (then) Majesties, Ionnes and Ro Honig and inducted into the Order of the Silver Brooch. <br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
I actually attended my first SCA event in 1989 after having met some folks at a demo. All that said, we were just two teens in green tabards soaking it all in. Since then realistically I have been in and out dropping by the odd event here and there until the past couple of years as my Wife, [[Ástríðr Sægeirsdottir]] and I have become more and more involved.<br />
<br />
I find myself enjoying [[Target Archery|Archery]], [[Thrown Weapons]] and learning all the things. I do believe I am a true dabbler (I am tempted to create a 'Things I've Tried' list but I don't know if there is enough room.) In June - AS LII, I signed up to be an Archery Marshall in Training to help run a new local archery practice.<br />

== Persona ==<br />
[[Category:11th Century Personas]]<br />
[[Category:English Personas]]<br />
Alric the Younger is from 11th century England. While I have not nailed down much more than that, I do know that I would like to explore the history of 'travelers' during that time period. How safe was it to explore the different lands and areas? Could the common person do just that? I think that this would go a long way to developing a persona that truly likes to dabble in one area or another, as opposed to settling down into a single profession. As I research the Anglo Saxon world a bit more, I may choose a slightly earlier time but we will see.<br />
<br />
I am finding that I am enjoying both woodworking and toolmaking, and my current 'big' project is to research and construct a pole lathe appropriate to the time. It is possible that turners also traveled from town to town as evidenced by wooden bowls that were 'repaired' after a crack, rather than replaced. I am thinking that this means the turner wasn't always around to make a new one... but please for the moment, don't quote me on that.<br />

--><br />
* Arrows<br />
::I will remember finishing the tips of these in the hotel room the night before a Great Northeastern War and not getting a chance to use them the following day. <br />
* A couple of Javelins<br />
::These really turned out to be Irish throwing darts (is what I think someone called them, but they have spurred me to make some others.<br />
* A Haithabu Bag AS-L<br />
::What was great about this project is that it was the first time I wrote some documentation for an item. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sQPsdWWtN8SCufZmsTkwUjL3J9f1lqarl9blimYM1Ug/edit?usp=sharing Documentation]<br />
* A six-panel hat - AS-LI<br />
::Constructed using the leftover material from the Haithabu Bag, this too is all hand stitched. The wool outer shell and the linen lining are assembled. I have added an embroidered band around the brim and stitched it down in place.<br />
*Skjoldehamn Inspired Hood - June AS-LII<br />
::As it figures, now that I've built this hood I found another document that makes me want to start it all over again. This hood started out in white linen which I dyed using modern dyes. I then used a natural linen thread to blanket stitch the edges. The seams are sewn with a silk thread.<br />
* A new linen tunic<br />
::For the longest time, this has been sitting around half constructed as I really didn't like the 'teal' color of the material. I finally have found RIT Dye remover[https://www.ritstudio.com/techniques/the-basics/rit-color-remover/] and it has removed much of the green leaving it a very pleasant blue. While not completly finished, I will someday add some embroidered trim.<br />
<br />
====Current Projects====<br />
*Nålebinding<br />
::I have struggled with this craft for years and reached an Ah Ha Moment at the Market Day at Birka, 2018 during a very informal class. Thicker Yarn (as also suggested by another,) and the Finnish 2+2 Stitch made all the difference in the world. I should have a Travelers hat in no time now. A second class about a month later was also just as helpful as I had a few more specific questions and this teacher was able to add a few other tricks to the table.<br />
*Pants<br />
:: I have a pair of heavy wool trousers just about ready to go - all they need is a hem at the legs.<br />
*Frame Saw<br />
::This too is nearing completion and while usable in its current state, I would like to add some carving to the handles.<br />
<br />
====Future Projects (in no particular order)====<br />
<br />
*Winingas<br />
::I really want to weave my own but am having difficulties trying to figure out the best method that will work for me.<br />
*Sprang<br />
::I bought a great book at Birka 2018 that I hope will inspire me to try this again sooner than later.<br />

You can often find Ástríðr working on an embroidery project (or 3), helping Their Excellencies or helping find teachers for local events. <br />
At Birka 28, she was approached by Mistress Astryda Borowska and asked to become an apprentice. On May 27, AS 52, at Panteria XXII & King's & Queen's Equestrian Championships in Panthervale, Ástríðr officially became Mistress Astryda's apprentice. At that same event, she was called before Their (then) Majesties, Ionnes and Ro Honig and inducted into the Order of the Silver Brooch. <br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
I actually attended my first SCA event in 1989 after having met some folks at a demo. All that said, we were just two teens in green tabards soaking it all in. Since then realistically I have been in and out dropping by the odd event here and there until the past couple of years as my Wife, [[Ástriðr Sægeirrsdottir]] and I have become more and more involved.<br />
<br />
I find myself enjoying [[Target Archery|Archery]], [[Thrown Weapons]] and learning all the things. I do believe I am a true dabbler (I am tempted to create a 'Things I've Tried' list but I don't know if there is enough room.) In June - AS LII, I signed up to be an Archery Marshall in Training to help run a new local archery practice.<br />

== Persona ==<br />
[[Category:11th Century Personas]]<br />
[[Category:English Personas]]<br />
Alric the Younger is from 11th century England. While I have not nailed down much more than that, I do know that I would like to explore the history of 'travelers' during that time period. How safe was it to explore the different lands and areas? Could the common person do just that? I think that this would go a long way to developing a persona that truly likes to dabble in one area or another, as opposed to settling down into a single profession. As I research the Anglo Saxon world a bit more, I may choose a slightly earlier time but we will see.<br />
<br />
I am finding that I am enjoying both woodworking and toolmaking, and my current 'big' project is to research and construct a pole lathe appropriate to the time. It is possible that turners also traveled from town to town as evidenced by wooden bowls that were 'repaired' after a crack, rather than replaced. I am thinking that this means the turner wasn't always around to make a new one... but please for the moment, don't quote me on that.<br />

--><br />
* Arrows<br />
::I will remember finishing the tips of these in the hotel room the night before a Great Northeastern War and not getting a chance to use them the following day. <br />
* A couple of Javelins<br />
::These really turned out to be Irish throwing darts (is what I think someone called them, but they have spurred me to make some others.<br />
* A Haithabu Bag AS-L<br />
::What was great about this project is that it was the first time I wrote some documentation for an item. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sQPsdWWtN8SCufZmsTkwUjL3J9f1lqarl9blimYM1Ug/edit?usp=sharing Documentation]<br />
* A six-panel hat - AS-LI<br />
::Constructed using the leftover material from the Haithabu Bag, this too is all hand stitched. The wool outer shell and the linen lining are assembled. I have added an embroidered band around the brim and stitched it down in place.<br />
*Skjoldehamn Inspired Hood - June AS-LII<br />
::As it figures, now that I've built this hood I found another document that makes me want to start it all over again. This hood started out in white linen which I dyed using modern dyes. I then used a natural linen thread to blanket stitch the edges. The seams are sewn with a silk thread.<br />
* A new linen tunic<br />
::For the longest time, this has been sitting around half constructed as I really didn't like the 'teal' color of the material. I finally have found RIT Dye remover[https://www.ritstudio.com/techniques/the-basics/rit-color-remover/] and it has removed much of the green leaving it a very pleasant blue. While not completly finished, I will someday add some embroidered trim.<br />
<br />
====Current Projects====<br />
*Nålebinding<br />
::I have struggled with this craft for years and reached an Ah Ha Moment at the Market Day at Birka, 2018 during a very informal class. Thicker Yarn (as also suggested by another,) and the Finnish 2+2 Stitch made all the difference in the world. I should have a Travelers hat in no time now. A second class about a month later was also just as helpful as I had a few more specific questions and this teacher was able to add a few other tricks to the table.<br />
*Pants<br />
:: I have a pair of heavy wool trousers just about ready to go - all they need is a hem at the legs.<br />
*Frame Saw<br />
::This too is nearing completion and while usable in its current state, I would like to add some carving to the handles.<br />
<br />
====Future Projects (in no particular order)====<br />
<br />
*Winingas<br />
::I really want to weave my own but am having difficulties trying to figure out the best method that will work for me.<br />
*Sprang<br />
::I bought a great book at Birka 2018 that I hope will inspire me to try this again sooner than later.<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
I actually attended my first SCA event in 1989 after having met some folks at a demo. All that said, we were just two teens in green tabards soaking it all in. Since then realistically I have been in and out dropping by the odd event here and there until the past couple of years as my Wife, [[Ástriðr Sægeirrsdottir]] and I have become more and more involved.<br />
<br />
I find myself enjoying [[Target Archery|Archery]], [[Thrown Weapons]] and learning all the things. I do believe I am a true dabbler (I am tempted to create a 'Things I've Tried' list but I don't know if there is enough room.) In June - AS LII, I signed up to be an Archery Marshall in Training to help run a new local archery practice.<br />

I now have a Blog! - [https://alrictheyounger.wordpress.com/AlricTheYounger.wordpress.com]<br />
<br />
====Past Projects====<br />
* Arrows<br />
::I will remember finishing the tips of these in the hotel room the night before a Great Northeastern War and not getting a chance to use them the following day. <br />
* A couple of Javelins<br />
::These really turned out to be Irish throwing darts (is what I think someone called them, but they have spurred me to make some others.<br />
* A Haithabu Bag AS-L<br />
::What was great about this project is that it was the first time I wrote some documentation for an item. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sQPsdWWtN8SCufZmsTkwUjL3J9f1lqarl9blimYM1Ug/edit?usp=sharing Documentation]<br />
[[File:AtY-6 Panel Hat inProgress 01.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Six-Panel Hat in Progress]]<br />
* A six-panel hat - AS-LI<br />
::Constructed using the leftover material from the Haithabu Bag, this too is all hand stitched. The wool outer shell and the linen lining are assembled. I have added an embroidered band around the brim and stitched it down in place.<br />
*Skjoldehamn Inspired Hood - June AS-LII<br />
::As it figures, now that I've built this hood I found another document that makes me want to start it all over again. This hood started out in white linen which I dyed using modern dyes. I then used a natural linen thread to blanket stitch the edges. The seams are sewn with a silk thread.[[File:AtY-Hood.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Skjoldehamn Hood]]<br />
<br />
====Current Projects====<br />
* A new linen tunic<br />
::For the longest time, this has been sitting around half constructed as I really didn't like the 'teal' color of the material. I finally have found RIT Dye remover[https://www.ritstudio.com/techniques/the-basics/rit-color-remover/] and it has removed much of the green leaving it a very pleasant blue. The next step is to work on the neck facing and then trim for the wrists and base which I have begun.<br />
*Nålebinding<br />
[[File:AtY-Nålebinding.jpeg|200px|thumb|right|The Start of a new hat]]<br />
::I have struggled with this craft for years and reached an Ah Ha Moment at the Market Day at Birka, 2018 during a very informal class. Thicker Yarn (as also suggested by another,) and the Mammen Stitch made all the difference in the world. I should have a Travelers hat in no time now. A second class about a month later was also just as helpful as I had a few more specific questions and this teacher was able to add a few other tricks to the table.<br />
<br />
====Future Projects (in no particular order)====<br />
*Pants<br />
*Winingas<br />
::I really want to weave my own but am having difficulties trying to figure out the best method that will work for me.<br />
*Sprang<br />
::I bought a great book at Birka 2018 that I hope will inspire me to try this again sooner than later.<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
Lady Ástríðr started attending local events in the early 1990's, with her husband, [[Alric the Younger]]. Mostly A Market Day at Birka and Legend's of Chivalry. Back in 2013, she decided to take her hobby to the next level by becoming an official member and hasn't looked back, since. She loves going to events where she can take a class on a craft or skill, that she wouldn't normally have access to. <br />
You can often find Ástríðr working on an embroidery project (or 3), helping Their Excellencies or helping find teachers for local events. <br />
At Birka 28, she was approached by Mistress Astryda Borowska and asked to become an apprentice. On May 27, AS 52, at Panteria XXII & King's & Queen's Equestrian Championships in Panthervale, Ástríðr officially became Mistress Astryda's apprentice. At that same event, she was called before Their (then) Majesties, Ionnes and Ro Honig and inducted into the Order of the Silver Brooch. <br />

I then used a natural linen thread to blanket stitch the edges. The seams are sewn with a silk thread.[[File:AtY-Hood.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Skjoldehamn Hood]]<br />
<br />
====Current Projects====<br />
* A new linen tunic<br />
::For the longest time, this has been sitting around half constructed as I really didn't like the 'teal' color of the material. I finally have found RIT Dye remover[https://www.ritstudio.com/techniques/the-basics/rit-color-remover/] and it has removed much of the green leaving it a very pleasant blue. The next step is to work on the neck facing and then trim for the wrists and base which I have begun.<br />
<br />
====Future Projects (in no particular order)====<br />
*Pants<br />
*Winingas<br />
::I really want to weave my own but am having difficulties trying to figure out the best method that will work for me. <br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
I actually attended my first SCA event in 1989 after having met some folks at a demo. All that said, we were just two teens in green tabards soaking it all in. Since then realistically I have been in and out dropping by the odd event here and there until the past couple of years as my Wife, [[Ástriðr Sægeirrsdottir]] and I have become more and more involved.<br />
<br />
I find myself enjoying [[Target Archery|Archery]], [[Thrown Weapons]] and learning all the things. I do believe I am a true dabbler (I am tempted to create a 'Things I've Tried' list but I don't know if there is enough room.) In June - AS LII, I signed up to be an Archery Marshall in Training to help run a new local archery practice.<br />

====Past Projects====<br />
* Arrows<br />
::I will remember finishing the tips of these in the hotel room the night before a Great Northeastern War and not getting a chance to use them the following day. <br />
* A couple of Javelins<br />
::These really turned out to be Irish throwing darts (is what I think someone called them, but they have spurred me to make some others.<br />
* A Haithabu Bag AS-L<br />
::What was great about this project is that it was the first time I wrote some documentation for an item. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sQPsdWWtN8SCufZmsTkwUjL3J9f1lqarl9blimYM1Ug/edit?usp=sharing Documentation]<br />
[[File:AtY-6 Panel Hat inProgress 01.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Six-Panel Hat in Progress]]<br />
* A six-panel hat - AS-LI<br />
::Constructed using the leftover material from the Haithabu Bag, this too is all hand stitched. The wool outer shell and the linen lining are assembled. I am working on an embroidered band for it currently and when finished it should be a quick matter of stitching it down and assembling the liner into place.<br />
