I'm still alive!

Greetings!  I'm sorry I've been missing so many Thursday's, between having an iffy vehicle and having stuff come up on Thursday's it's been a no go.  I was planning to get back this week and found out my friend from MO (who missed Lilies because she had a job interview) is arriving Thursday with her guy on their way to the Boundary Waters.  I will be missing another week.  Poo.

I did want you to see the cloak that I just finished for my friend Halvdan, who was knighted at Lilies on the 16th.

It's grey wool, with a border of deep purple wool, woven trim (that I wove myself), embroidered runes, and a gold linen chain edged with red chain stitch.  I'm really happy with how it turned out and Halvdan loved it, especially when I told him what the runes meant.

"What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of the women"

Hope to see you all next week, or at the Walton Feed pick up.

Liz
