Cristina inghean Ghriogair

Cristina's local group is Courtlandslot (but she also is very involved with Myrkfaileen.

Cristina lives in Homer NY (Cortland area) and has four kids. The younger two, Cameron de Brite of Myrkfaileen (16) and daughter Caitlin (12) are also involved in the SCA. She likes doing just about all kinds of crafts mostly sewing and quilting. She also loves to garden and cook. As a youth marshall and deputy for region 5, and Chatilane for Courtlandslot, she also does a tremndous amount of activities with Myrkfaileen.

With a wide range of interests she'll try jsut about anything. She's trying to authorize in combat archery as well as doing some regular archery and thrown weapons. In addition she usually autocrats at least two events a year though she prefers to cook.

Cristina enjoys all forms of fiber arts stuff. She is currently raising two angora rabbits andis also collecting other fibers. With these she's learning to use the drop spindle. She's hoping to get a spinning wheel at Pennsic or for christmas this year. Knitting is also on the agenda, mostly making scarves (not having figured out socks yet). She also teaches basic finger looping.

She's done a lot of basics but would like to find some time, and someone else, to try the two person methods. She also has started doing tablet weaving. What she'd like most is to find more time to work on perfecting my techniques. She's done one project of viking wire weaving. Cristina enjoys sewing, but sewing without patterns is a challenge. Her style is more along te lines of modifying mundane patterns. And of course, she'd like to try brewing when the kids are older.
