Juuri kun\u00c2\u00a0Exploring the medieval huntin<\/a> (mahtava blogi, suosittelen!) tyypit ovat nostaneet keskiaikaisen talvipukeutumisen\u00c2\u00a0trendikk\u00e4\u00e4ksi aiheeksi, sattui Iloisen joutsenen talviulkoilup\u00e4iv\u00e4 Hiidenhirvenhiihtoon juuri sopivaan aikaan.<\/p>\n Joukkueemme t\u00e4ydennyksineen ylsi pronssille primitiivihiihto\/jousiammuntakisassa ja kannustusjoukoissa p\u00e4\u00e4stiin testaamaan talvivarusteita aurinkoisessa mutta kirpe\u00e4ss\u00e4 -8 C:n pakkass\u00e4\u00e4ss\u00e4.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n Now that the guys over at Exploring the medieval hunt<\/a> (an awesome blog that I recommend massively) have made medieval winter gear a trending topic, I’ll throw in pictures and experiences from Merry Swan’s winter outing to Hiidenhirvenhiihto, a primitive skiiing and archery competition.<\/p>\n Our team (with some extras) came in third! And those of us that were tasked with cheering on the brave skiers – we had a chance to test our winter gear in a crisp -8C and beautiful sunny weather.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n J\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 oli pelkk\u00e4\u00e4 j\u00e4\u00e4t\u00e4, hiihto muistutti enemm\u00e4n luistelua!\u00c2\u00a0Kuvauspaikka on Pukkisaari Helsingiss\u00e4, kuvat otti Antti Kuparinen \/ Mervi Pasanen.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n Skiing was actually more like skating, since there was no snow on the ice. These pictures were taken in Pukkisaari in Helsinki, by Antti Kuparinen \/ \u00c2\u00a0Mervi Pasanen.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tavoitetila eli l\u00e4mmin, kuiva ja iloinen saavutettiin seuraavilla varusteilla:<\/p>\n P\u00e4\u00e4ss\u00e4 oli hunnut, koska niin pit\u00e4\u00e4 ja kuuluu olla. Villainen huntu olisi talvella kyll\u00e4 mahtava, parempi kuin pellavaiset.<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n So you need to be warm, dry and happy. And I was! Wearing:<\/p>\n And of course I wore my veils, because this is what I do. Being grown up, married and all. I did think that a woolen veil would be really great, compared to the linen ones I had now.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n L\u00e4mpim\u00e4n\u00e4pysymisen ongelmakohta: jalat. T\u00e4ss\u00e4 kohisuttavassa keskiaikaerotiikkaa huokuvassa kuvassa n\u00e4kyy, mit\u00e4 jaloissa oli. Polvimittaiset villasta ommellut sukat ja villaiset neulakinnassukat, niiden p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 riitt\u00e4v\u00e4n isot nahkakeng\u00e4t. Mervill\u00e4 ihanat varrelliset ja punaiset, minulla matalat ja r\u00e4j\u00e4ht\u00e4neet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kengiss\u00e4 on ohut pohja, jonka l\u00e4pi kylm\u00e4 aina p\u00e4\u00e4see hiipim\u00e4\u00e4n. Patiinit eli puupohjat ovat avuksi, mutta j\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 ja kivisess\u00e4 saaressa niiden kanssa seikkailu on itsetuhoista. Siksi jalkojen alle piti aina haalia milloin mit\u00e4kin eristett\u00e4: ruohom\u00e4t\u00e4s, suksi tai viltti (joka t\u00e4ss\u00e4 kuvasa n\u00e4kyy).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n The most problematic spot when it comes to staying warm: feet. In this nearly explicit picture, oozing with medieval erotica, you can see what we wore on our feet. Knee-high woolen hose, woolen needlebound socks and shoes that were big enough. Mervi had some lovely red boots and I had old, rather beaten up shoes.<\/p>\n The thing is that medieval shoes have thin leather soles, and the cold always creesp through. Pattens aka wooden tie-on soles would help, but wearing them on ice and in a little island full of rocks etc – would be classified as self-harming. This is why we were constantly on the lookout for something to stand on: a little dry grass, a ski – and even a blanket (which is what we are standing on in the picture)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kisakatsomossa l\u00e4mmitti lampaantalja ja ihana kev\u00e4inen auringonpaiste. Ja neulakintaat!<\/p>\n N\u00e4iss\u00e4 kuvissa n\u00e4kyy uusi viittani, joka on oikeastaan aika kes\u00e4inen viitta. Se on keskipaksua villatoimikasta, eli siis hieman ilmava ja p\u00f6rhe\u00e4. Laskeutuva, ei painava. Simppelinmuotoinen asuste pysyy paikallaan yhdell\u00e4 soljella, jonka paikkaa vaihtelemalla saa viitan istumaan eri tavoilla. Ja aika mukavasti! Ensimm\u00e4inen viitta, jota en ole halunnut polkea suohon. Se pysyy menossa mukana eik\u00e4 yrit\u00e4 kuristaa. Krapinpunainen kangas on Tippetilt\u00e4.<\/a><\/p>\n ****<\/p>\n When watching the skiing we were kept warm by a sheepskin and the sun. And needlebound mittens!<\/p>\n In these pictures you can see my new cloak, which is actually more of a summertime cloak. It’s made of a medium weight wool twill, so it is slightly airy and light. It falls nicely and is not too heavy. It’s a simple half circle which stays in place with one brooch. And I can have the cloak sit differently depending on where and how I set the brooch. And it si wearable! Seriously, this is the FIRST cloak I do not want to bury into the nearest bog after 15 minutes of wearing it. It doesn’t get in the way and it doesn’t try to strangle me. The madder-red wool is from Tippet<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kiinnostuneille tiedoksi viitan kaava 150 cm leve\u00e4st\u00e4 kankaasta leikattuna. Ei yht\u00e4\u00e4n saumaa, mutta paljon p\u00e4\u00e4rm\u00e4\u00e4mist\u00e4!<\/p>\n ***<\/p>\n Here is the cloak pattern – if you cut from 150cm wide wool. No seams, just a whole lot of hemming!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n
