We went to the foteviken viking reservation for their big market and I came back with a bunch of nice stuff.
I bought a wax hardend leather water bottle, a wodden bucket and a basket that works like a back pack. I am really pleased with this stuff it will add a lot of flavour to the camp in Visby.
Really nice quality from what I think were russian merchants, they could be polish, from the baltics, hungary but I think they were russian.
I bought the axe a bit earlier in the week. To me no encampment is complete without an axe. It is made by Gränsfors bruk and while surfing their homepage I found out that they acutally make axes from mediveal finds. That is really cool and I will probably try to order one some time in the future.
The red thing in the right corner is my new hat/ cap made out of wool/ felt. It needs to be remade a bit but I think it will be a very warm pice of headgear. I managed to sew a little today so I just need to attach the arms to my black/ grey cothardie and then it is almost finished. But I am seweing it by hand so Im not quite sure when I will get it done. The plan is to use it under my other cothardie for extra warmth so I will probably make it with ties instead of with buttons, have not decided on this yeat.
I also managed to decide what other garb I will try to sew. So far the plan is a pair of green hoses and a green hood, a brown long tunic all in wool and a light blue linen under tunic/ shirt/ chemise.
