I am hoping to fill in the knots with a light weight wool from Reconstructing History. I will probably use either a split stitch or a chain stitch with the wool, as it is slightly smaller in gauge than the bamboo. We shall see as it progresses!

Motif of the Week
In honor of the Viking Village this weekend, I have spent the week researching Norse embroidery and clothing styles. Sadly, a lot of the embroidery is more involved than I would have liked for a motif of the week, but I did find some examples of motifs that slightly resembled Celtic knotwork. This motif is more Celtic, but should dress up a Norse coif that I am making for this weekend.

I am using the bamboo crewel weight thread that I bought from White Wolf anf Pheonix at War Practice. I really like hot soft the thread is and it seems to take a split stitch well, for being a larger weight thread.
