sca trades

Baronial Banquet was last night. The food was tasty as always, and I am now the proud owner of two pewter spoons. (I'm kind of tempted to take up eating with knife, spoon, and my hands at events, though the sad truth is I'd be conspicuous ( Read more... )

Dude, I would totally be right there with you. I just need a decent knife and spoon. ...and a hand towel.

Dang it, now i'm going to have to put together a proper set of feast gear.

...i'd totally help you with some of that, but all i'm really good at are leather and glass. :-\

I suspect there's leather stuff that I should want, but I haven't done the research to figure out what would be plausible for the sixth century.

I might be interested in some of the sewing. E-mail me and we can chat.

Hey- not sure what we could trade for, but I could make pants for you, if you like.

There's some nifty Egyptian knitting-- socks, mostly, though Urtatim has an image of a "mysterious knit object":

And I have patterns for modern Turkish socks which are pretty nifty.

Otherwise, I don't know, food? Limericks?

I love the egyptian style socks, but they would take a lot more work than making a pair of pants, wouldn't they? I don't think it would be a fair trade for you!
But I don't mind making pants for you and figuring out the trade later either. I'm just all about making sure there's more Turkish representation out there :)

I mostly knit in math lectures, so for me sewing is a big time commitment whereas knitting just keeps my hands busy ;)

I ILL'ed the book Urtatim references-- maybe there will be a pouch or something?

Yay, beads!

The spoons are $15.

Did you have a particular scroll subject in mind?

Spike was selling guild stuff, but Sean makes them, so he could probably give you one.

Fair enough. This year's Light of Saint Bunstable is ahead in the queue, so we can talk after that.

I'd be willing to do the pants and/or the skirt, in exchange for a proper Elizabethian looking AoA scroll.

Hmmm, I seem to be booked at the moment, as far as sewing & scribal go. Ping me again after I defend if you're still interested?
