That does look interesting Tony... and like you I'm very tempted as well :)

Some cool stuff coming up in this thread...keep it coming everyone, maybe i'll even get to a couple of them :D

Jules (basket making) has sent me details of a Willow backpack 2 day course that she's going to put on at the Moot, I'm very tempted by that as well

That looks great - but can I afford it?

I put her up to that. She was doubtful but I persuaded Jules that there would be a biggy market for it.

(I lost her first attempt to Vikings on the Isle of Man, so if you see a Viking with a basket on, then please could you ask them to return it?)

Will a list or two be going up or are going to fight it out ( said with a smile). Most important, I would like to know if I should bring a wool blanket to convert?
I am soooooo looking forward to this years Moot!

I have a pink wool blanket (bought from mr fenna a few moots ago) it could be used as a demo one to be returned to him in boreal shirt form.

if you hadn't guessed totally up for that too.

So should I bring the wool blanket.

I can bring the Bushcraft Magazine article on how to make your own bush shirt complete with pattern.

So you'd be able to cut it out ready for sewing but I don't have access to a hand crank sewing machine so it would have to be done by hand...

Ok, so I've now worked out the five things I'll offer:
1. Weaving a quiver - the amazing Coke bottle loom is included in cost
2. Weaving a peg loom mat, cushion or small rug - peg looms may be available to buy for about £15 on top - but you could just borrow one if mine!
3. Making socks on a sock loom - will check about loom cost might be able to get them for an additional £3 or use mine
4. Making a leather mug holder
5. Making weaving sticks and a strap from cheerful yarn - take the sticks away with you - please
6. Making tape on a fixed headle loom - can get these for a tenner for a simple one if anyone wants one - or use mine

Any session a fiver for materials - six people per session, 2.5,hours long. Tea and biccies included. Should manage to fit each session running three times over the BM...  closer to the year/month/day I'll take more names but do feel free to indicate interest - it'll help me sort out materials and kit.

Choices, choices! I'd like to do number 2 please. I would have to be directed to your camp though :)
I too am really looking forward to the moot. It's great to have so many friendly skilled people about to learn from and to be able to relax in the woods.:D
