Introduction
Lady Griet attended her first SCA event in Trimaris (A.S. XXX) after overhearing "You mean the King and Queen are actually going to make it?!" while on an extended vacation. That piqued her interest and opened her to a vibrant old world.
Years later when brought to Great Northeastern War (A.S. XXXIV) by a group of dear friends she fell in love with the SCA and medieval history as a whole, but didn't dive in fully for several years.
Dabbling became so much more when the Riding of Ravensbridge started developing into a closer place to play. Since then the hobby took over and became a major part of her life.

More Information
Interests and pursuits include:
- Narrow Work - Inkle, Sprang, Kumi, Fingerloop, iCord, but especially tablet weaving and learning ALL the techniques. Focusing on monochromatic twist-twined, double-face, 3/1 twill, velvet, and brocade techniques of tablet weaving.
- Knitting - Mickel inspired me to retry knitting after 30+ years and I love it. Everything turns into a hat, so I'm working on medieval hats! I'm building an entire project on the Thrummed Hat and another on the Monmouth Cap. I've started posting in my blog about them.
- Spinning - I'm trying each and every fiber I can get my hands on. So far - wool, alpaca, flax, nettle, hemp, bamboo, carbonized bamboo, banana, kapok, corn, dog, and human. You name it or hand it to me (please hand me fiber), I will try to spin it! U want to spin the longwool for a Thrummed Hat!
Surprises are fine, please contact Aloysius Sartore and Anne Meckil von Salm for scheduling, questions, or general shenanigans. ICOP: A writ is probably best, to make sure everyone can attend.
