Introduction
Lady Tola knitýr first joined the SCA as a child, with her family, in 1994. After some time away from the Society in her early 20's, she became active again in the Shire of Quintavia. Her interests mostly gravitate around the art world, where she tries her hand at any string-based activity. She is an accomplished embroiderer, spinner, and seamstress, and seeks to share her love of fiber with any who are willing to listen. She also enjoys spending time at the torch creating lampwork beads. She introduced her husband to the SCA, and their two children are now third generation SCAdians.
Persona
This is a work in progress.
Tola is married to Arngrimr Meinfretr and they have two children. They live outside Heiðabýr (Hedeby) in the early 10th century.
