#mySCA I took my 1st apprentice yesterday in Atlantia!

In my nerdy corner of the SCA, we collaborate w/ academic researchers, do experimental archeology + learn skills that are still useful today.

In this sociopolitical environment, curiosity, passion & rigorous search for truth are resistance.

#MySCA #meetup

Last training session with Anezka before Rapier Champs last month.

This was where we put it all together — direct attacks, disengagements, feints, renewals, infighting, second intention, etc.

Equally unrealistic, but I wish we had better message. I wish that every event included What, Where (state and Kingdom), When and a link to a webpage where I can get more information/3

We are a diverse community with diverse communications preferences (and needs) and wildly different technical proficiencies. Tools won't solve the problem *that I perceive*./2
#mysca

On FB two different individuals whom I respect have suggested that the SCA needs a different tool to improve communications. I'd argue that the cost of Yet Another Non-Interoperative Tool is higher than the value. What we need is a better message. /1

Photo of a lucet, a small u-shaped hand-held object used for braiding cord

We're learning how to use the #lucet to make cord at our monthly Arts & Sciences night on Thursday, March 26. We'll have some loaner lucets to try out, and a few for $8 if you want to take it home. Bring your own yarn.

Coins spread across a wood box around coin dies

Spent the weekend teaching coin collectors how coins were made in Europe before 1600.

A completed teal knit silk stocking with side clock detail underneath a partially knit stocking to complete the pair. The cuff and upper calf to through the start of the side clock detail is finished on the second stocking. The stocking is being knit on 2 fixed circular needles with red cords and silver needles, one end of each of which is shown. Yarn: KnitPicks Luminance mulberry silk Needles: US 1s, I think? Might be 0s but my needle gauge is in another room and I had a new-to-me Pilates class and a new personal training routine today so am NOT getting up to fetch it Gauge: 14 sts/16 rows per inch

..and we've now reached the point when I worry that math has failed me and the stockings won't fit the recipient because they look wrong. *sigh* (They'll be fine; bespoke stockings don't always look like model stockings because *people* don't (always) look like mannequins.) 🧶 #MySCA

Congrats to our founder @thetavernknight.bsky.social for being awarded with the Award of Benzaiten, given to an individual who demonstrates exceptional skill in teaching within the East Kingdom of the SCA!

Fiore de'i Liberi ~ Wiktenauer, the world's largest library of HEMA books and manuscripts ~☞ Insquequo omnes gratuiti fiant Fiore Furlano de’i Liberi de Cividale d’Austria (Fiore delli Liberi, Fiore Furlano, Fiore de Cividale d’Austria; fl. 1381 - 1409) was a late 14th century knight, diplomat, and fencing master. He was b...

My primary research at the moment is how [Fiore's](wiktenauer.com/wiki/Fiore) mounted plays actually work. Then, to understand what I was learning I had to create a [weapons flow](youtu.be/fydCQDM72Ok) to teach me to move smoothly between the positions while riding well.

Second driving lesson today. Bonnie found this very stressful and we had to stop and comfort her, but by the end we were making turns for a serpentine.

Saturday was my last day as Consort’s Arts & Science Champion for the SCA East Kingdom. Decided to end my tenure in style with my Jean de Gassion inspired ensemble.

Fun day at A&S Champs. Was nice to socialize and talk to folks about their various rabbit holes and passion projects.

There’s so many cool things out there that folks are doing. It’s really worth hitting up an A&S event and absorbing all the inspiration that’s there.

I think that is extraordinarily cool - This month I've had two opportunities to appreciate the Roses, opportunities that have reminded me that there are people who nourish and foster the dream. I wanted to offer a bit of appreciation and wordfame. #mysca #Kasf #roses

Yesterday I realized that while two gentles got chaplets, _every booth_ on the floor was visited by a team of knowledgeable peers, who observed intentionally and asked questions. Yes, the two gentles were Recognized, but every exhibitor was seen. And....

The Society for Creative Anachronism isn't perfect, but sometimes I get a glimpse of what the dream should be. I have always admired the Rose's chaplets at KASF because it is pure honor bestowed without completion. But ......

Part 2 of the Glide or Infight option drill — outside line.

This is done with SCA rapier rules in mind where grappling is pretty limited.

Är det här början på ett beroende? Dwt känns riskabelt ekonomiskt... Målbilden är dock att köpa begagnat, i facebookgrupper för hobbyn eller på t.ex. medeltidsloppisen på MTV. Kan man ens ha för mycket feast gear egentligen? #mysca

However, nu har jag börjat klura på min lokala, nystartade, sca-föreningen inte eventuellt kommer ha ett behov av lånegrejer för nybörjare. Och om jag så, teoretiskt givetvis, skulle köpa in lite grejer... #mysca

Jag har ju egentligen satt köpförbud för feast gear, jag har tillräckligt. Det enda jag kan få köpa är nån bra stor trätallrik, men inget mer. Jag har ju ärvt saker liksom. #mysca

Någon som har en ordvits jag kan få sno på fornborg? Planerar en utflykt till en plats med lämnar av en fornborg och vill ha ett kul namn.
