About Aleit

I "discovered" the SCA after tagging along with my local Amtgard group to an SCA event in 2004. I was fresh out of high school and I ditched Amtgard shortly after and fell in love with the SCA.

A very very long time ago (2006), I had a website called Northern Costume. Then the registration lapsed and I lost the domain name and I purchased Low Countries Costume (2008), which also is now defunct. I lost most things on the site and when I was looking back through my documents on my third computer since that website I realized I should probably preserve this stuff and update some things as well. And now, this blog exists.

The SCA was great while I was in college but after I graduated college in 2010 I got pretty busy with living abroad and being an Au Pair. When I came back in 2011 I met a very cool guy who had absolutely zero interest in the SCA, but tagged along with me to a few events anyway. Eventually we got married. I think he may never go to another event with me, which I respect. We are cool doing our own things. One of my "things" is sewing, which I really learned how to do after joining the SCA. I've definitely become better throughout time which goes to show anyone can learn to sew if they really want! Now that I've gotten that out of the way, here's my SCA "resume."
