Normally a shawl will haunt me until I get it down into the charts. After playing around with Viking goodies, it’s arrived. We have a heart shaped shawl with a center back panel of a nifty Saxon braid that I added length to, such fun. There are even wooden shields to hang along the deck just like in “days of yore”.
