Every year during the Pentecostweekend ther is a Vikingshow in H.O.M.E. including a market, fightshows and demonstrations and every year Byfrost is there. Here a report on the Pentecostvikingshow 2008.

Our camp

This years was the first time that we have our camp under the trees. But because the weather was exceptionally warm that weekend it was a blessing.

Our neighbours

One of the fun things about these shows is that you always meet new people. This year we hade really nice neighbours that we had never met before.

Arrows

Our German neighbours had a really nice shop with bows and also these fine arrows.

Dying wool

During this weekend we were able to colour some wool in a madder dyebath. A report on this can be found on the madderpage

Nålbinding

Ronald was busy met nålbinden all weekend, also because he wanted some pictures for the site.

Across from us

Also our neighbour across from us were very busy with there camp and equipment. A number of them took part in the fightingshows so there equipment really needs to be okay.

Felting

One of the people camping across from us was Monika, who was felting. Felting is a fun technique that Monika is very good at. She was making a kins of hat and we took many pictures so we can do a report on the technique.
