I finished the embroidery on the red tunic, and have started the studs. On the smaller MSD Celtic costumes I sew on silver beads to simulate suds, and that's an awful lot easier, but for the SD-size costumes I use real suds. They are very tiny, with four points on the back, each one needing to be bent back. It's very hard on the fingers, so needs to be spread over a few days.
I was all set to start knitting the "chain-mail" sleeves, but I didn't have enough silver crochet thread. So we went to Michael's in Whitby to get some. They were out. They only had gold and pearl metallic. So we went on to the Michael's in Oshawa. Same story there. The only other place I know might have some would be Lens Mills, way out near Yorkdale, but fortunately they have an email address for questions regarding their yarns, so I can ask first, then go if they have it.
