Leirill\u00e4 oli taas juurikin niin mahtavaa kuin oletin. Kymmenen p\u00e4iv\u00e4\u00e4 humahti ohi yst\u00e4vien kanssa istuttujen p\u00e4ivien ja iltojen, k\u00e4sit\u00f6iden, kiinnostavien asioiden oppimisen, opettamisen, kikattamisen ja hyv\u00e4n ruoan sek\u00e4 juoman parissa. V\u00e4h\u00e4n niinkuin aina. Leiri oli taas vuodessa kasvanut monilla teltoilla ja telttojen varustelu her\u00e4tti tervett\u00e4 leirikateutta eli inspiraatiota ensi vuodelle.<\/p>\n

Muista vuosista t\u00e4m\u00e4n leirin erottaa kuitenkin ehdottomasti kuumuus. Se on j\u00e4\u00e4nyt t\u00e4n\u00e4 kes\u00e4n\u00e4 mieleen muissakin tapahtumissa, kuten kuulemma Grunwaldissa.<\/p>\n

S\u00e4\u00e4 oli v\u00e4h\u00e4n liiankin hyv\u00e4. Aurinko helotti t\u00e4ysill\u00e4 koko viikon, p\u00e4iv\u00e4l\u00e4mp\u00f6tilojen noustessa kolmeenkymppiin. Valkoisissa teltoissakin l\u00e4mp\u00f6tila nousi jo aamuvarhaisella kuumaksi ja varjoisia paikkoja sai hakemalla hakea. Onneksi leiripaikka on j\u00e4rven rannalla. J\u00e4rveen menem\u00e4ll\u00e4 pystyi v\u00e4lttelem\u00e4\u00e4n pahinta ylikuumentumista.<\/p>\n

J\u00e4rvess\u00e4 tulikin oltua parhaimmillaan tuntitolkulla ja monta kertaa p\u00e4iv\u00e4ss\u00e4. Myssy p\u00e4\u00e4ss\u00e4 tietysti. Keskiaikainen j\u00e4rki sanoo ett\u00e4 p\u00e4\u00e4 kannattaa peitt\u00e4\u00e4 kylpiess\u00e4, moderni komppaa sill\u00e4 ett\u00e4 se est\u00e4\u00e4 p\u00e4\u00e4t\u00e4 palamasta.<\/p>\n

Muuten keskiaikaisten sopisvuusk\u00e4sitysten el\u00e4v\u00f6itt\u00e4minen k\u00e4rsikin sitten l\u00e4mp\u00f6tilasta. N\u00e4m\u00e4 l\u00e4mpenev\u00e4n ilmaston ajat asettavat omat vaikeat haasteensa keskiajan historian el\u00e4v\u00f6itt\u00e4miselle.<\/p>\n

Koko alusmekko-mekko-p\u00e4\u00e4llysmekko-yhdistelm\u00e4st\u00e4 ei tietysti ollut puhettakaan paitsi aivan my\u00f6h\u00e4\u00e4n joinakin iltoina. (Ja muutamissa tilanteissa k\u00e4rvistelin, koska sopivuus sit\u00e4 ehdottomasti vaati.) Alusmekko-mekko- yhdistelm\u00e4 oli liian kuuma useimpina p\u00e4ivin\u00e4, jopa ns. opiskelijahaalarityyliin k\u00e4ytettyn\u00e4 (eli vain mekon alaosa puettuna, yl\u00e4osa roikkuu vy\u00f6t\u00e4r\u00f6lt\u00e4 vy\u00f6n varassa). Mit\u00e4 j\u00e4i j\u00e4ljelle? Pellavainen alusmekko, huntu (mainio aurinkosuoja) ja essu.<\/p>\n

Aina voi lohduttautua sill\u00e4, ett\u00e4 todisteita vastaavasta helletyylist\u00e4 l\u00f6ytyy 1300-luvun italialaisen k\u00e4sikirjoituksen kuvituksesta, mutta silti. Ensi vuodelle on pakko tehd\u00e4 mekko mahdollisimman ohuesta villasta, siksi ett\u00e4 pystyisi olemaan edes jokseenkin pukeissa. Vaikka punainen ei ole mit\u00e4\u00e4n maailman paksuinta villaa, se on kuitenkin t\u00e4ysvuorattu ja aika l\u00e4mmin mekko.<\/p>\n

V\u00e4rj\u00e4\u00e4minen on yksi leirin kohokohdista. Kaukameelin ja Elsebethin opastuksella syntyi t\u00e4n\u00e4 vuonna punaista ja oranssin s\u00e4vyj\u00e4 veriseitikist\u00e4, kokenillista ja krapista (v\u00e4rimatara). Villalankaa v\u00e4rj\u00e4ttiin sek\u00e4 kirjonta- ett\u00e4 neulakinnaspaksuutta. Lis\u00e4ksi kokeilin kankaan v\u00e4rj\u00e4\u00e4mist\u00e4. Harmaasta kankaasta tuli krappiliemess\u00e4 hauska ruskeanoranssi. Eik\u00e4 edes kovin l\u00e4ikik\u00e4s, vaikka langat eiv\u00e4t sille j\u00e4tt\u00e4neetk\u00e4\u00e4n paljoa elintilaa. Kaunein punainen tuli luonnonvalkoisesta kokenillilla v\u00e4rj\u00e4tyst\u00e4 langasta.<\/p>\n

V\u00e4rj\u00e4\u00e4misen lis\u00e4ksi piisasi hyvi\u00e4 ty\u00f6pajoja ja muita oppimisen tilaisuuksia. Oli harmillista, ett\u00e4 kuumuus s\u00f6i jonkin verran osallistujam\u00e4\u00e4ri\u00e4. Omakin osallistuminen hellepaahteessa vaati joskus viimeisill\u00e4 voimilla riuhtomista.<\/p>\n

Oma opetuspanos koski poimutettujen huntujen historiaa ja mekkojen istuttamista.<\/p>\n

Villamekon istuttaminen oli melko extreme\u00e4 kolmenkymmenen asteen helteell\u00e4, mutta siit\u00e4 huolimatta mekkopajan urheat osallistujat synnyttiv\u00e4t ainakin seitsem\u00e4n kaunista villamekon alkua. Odotan n\u00e4iden mekkojen n\u00e4kemist\u00e4 valmiina.<\/p>\n

Istutuspuuhien lis\u00e4ksi k\u00e4sit\u00f6iden osalta viikon aikana tuli kirjottua laskettua ty\u00f6t\u00e4, aloitettua uusi leukaliina, karvavuorattua yhdet hihat, tehty\u00e4 yksi lapsen mekko valmiiksi ja yksi lapsen myssy.<\/p>\n

Camp was just as awesome as I had expected. Ten days passed quickly when hanging out with friends, working on crafts, learning and teaching things, giggling and consuming good food and drink. Just like always. The camp had grown in size: lots of new tents as well as well-equipped encampments that cause the good kind of camp envy, inspiration for next year.<\/p>\n

What this year’s camp will be remembered for is the heat. This summer has been hot hot hot at other events all over Europe, like Grunwald for what I’ve heard.<\/p>\n

The weather was a little too good. It was sunny and bright and the temperatures were close to 30 C (this is not normal for Finland). The tents (no matter how white) got really warm already in the morning and hunting for a little shade was a project in itself. Thankfully, our campsite is by a lake. Going into the lake was just about the only way to cool off.<\/p>\n

So I spent a lot of time in the lake. Hours at a time at best and usually about three times per day. Wearing my cap of course. My medieval sense told me to cover my head when bathing and my modern sense agreed: it stopped me from getting sunstroke.<\/p>\n

Otherwise the re-enactment of medieval sensibilities was less successful due to the temperature. This global warming meddles even with re-enacment!<\/p>\n

The entire underdress\/shirt-dress-overdress-combo was just too much, with the exception of a few very late nights (and on some difficult, select occasions where modesty and proper dress was required). Even the underdress-dress was too much on most days, even when worn like student overalls (i.e. not wearing the top part of the dress but letting it hang from my belt). So what does that leave me with? A linen underdress, veil+wimple (excellent sun protection) and an apron.<\/p>\n

One can always get a little consolation that a similar hot weather style can be seen in a 14th century italian manuscript, but still. I’ll have to make a new dress for next year, made out of the thinnest possible wool, so that I could remain a bit dressed. Although my trusty red dress isn’t the thickest one can imagine, it is still fully lined.<\/p>\n

The dyeing workshop (the results of which can be seen in the picture above) is something I look forward to every year. This year, hosted by Kaukameeli and Elsebeth, we created red hues with a mushroom (veriseitikki, I haven’t an idea what it is in English) cochenille and madder. We dyed wool yarns for embroidery as well as tablet weaving. I experimented a bit with madder-dyeing some fabric too, grey turned a funky orange hue – only slightly blotchy, although it didn’t really have enough room in the dye pot. The prettiest hues were from the natural white yarn + cochenille.<\/p>\n

The dyeing workshop wasn’t the only chance for picking up new skills. It was a bit of a bummer that the weather did eat away at some of the general motivation to participate.<\/p>\n

I taught a bit on the history of the frilled veil and had a two-day hands-on dress fitting workshop.<\/p>\n

Fitting wool dresses in +30 C borders on the hardcore and extreme, but we managed! The brave will-stop-at-nothing attendees of the workshop created a total of seven dresses well on their way to being finished. I’m looking forward to seeing them in their future finished glory.<\/p>\n

Besides fitting people and poking them with pins, I finished a dress for a little girl, made a baby’s cap, fur-lined a pair of sleeves, cut out and started a new wimple and did some counted thread embroidery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
