3/ 🧵If you like rousing fiddle, energetic jigs and reels; and the occasional sweet ballad, then you’ll love my #Celtic music #playlist on my #YouTube channel (link in bio).

Modified from a design on bracelet book.com. (Those patterns are charted on a square grid, so end up stretched when transferred directly to a loom.) Final pic is the complete piece. Love how it turned out! Meant to try a border of strung beads but forgot, whoops. Next time.
Used nymo thread, which seems like it’s harder for me to keep even tension with? Will try Fire Line next time to compare.

#WyrdWednesday: Lomna, a fool, had revealed #Fionn‘s wife's infidelity. Her lover Coirpre struck Lomna’s head off, and brought it away with him. Coirpre and three times nine of his men came to a house, and were cooking fish on a spit; and Lomna's head was on a spike beside the fire.
And the first of the fish that was cooked Coirpre divided between his men, but he put no bit into the mouth of the head. And then he made a second division in the same way. Now that was against the law of the Fianna, and the head spoke, and it said: "A speckled white-bellied salmon that grows from a small fish under the sea; you have shared a share that is not right; the Fianna will avenge it upon you, Coirpre." "Put the head outside," said Coirpre, "for that is an evil word for us." Then the head said from outside: "It is in many pieces you will be; it is great fires will be lighted by Fionn in Luigne." #Celtic

#LegendaryWednesday: Niam of the Golden Hair spoke of the Land Oversea to which she had summoned her lover Oisín:
"Delightful is the land beyond all dreams,
Fairer than aught thine eyes have ever seen.
There all the year the fruit is on the tree,
And all the year the bloom is on the flower…“ #Celtic

#MythologyMonday: "I bring you your men, #Fionn," said prince Abartach, "and of them all there isn't a man I wouldn't like for my own, except Conan mac Morna, who night and day unceasingly abuses and reviles every one near him. And sorry I am, Fionn, that a gentle and generous man like you should have such a scurrilous and loud-voiced person as that son of Morna in your Fianna, for his tongue is like the clapper of a bell that is constantly blown by the wind." #Celtic

#MythologyMonday: "A horse!" repeated Conan scornfully. "I wonder you are not ashamed to be seen with it, though indeed you are just as bad-looking yourself. I hope," he said, turning from the Gilla Decair to Fionn, "you are not going to disgrace the Fianna by taking that ill-favoured wretch there into it, and putting his bag of bones - calls it a horse, indeed! - among our horses." #Celtic

#MythologyMonday: `Fat, bald Conan mac Morna, when he saw #Fionn lying there helpless, thought that now he would take vengeance on Fionn for all the gibes and sneers the Fians had treated him to. So stepping up to Fionn the jester began to abuse him.`
"All the time I have been with the Fianna you never praised me or my brave deeds," he said, "and much it pleases me to see you lying there, for now I can cut off your head. The only grief I have is that all your Fians are not in the same state you are;“
In great indignation Oscur turned on Conan. “For your threats to our chief I will deal with you so hardly that from now till the day of your death you shall speak no more evil words," and clenching his fists tightly he rushed at Conan.
The jester, hearing Oscur speak in such a furious manner, sheltered himself at the back of the Fians, crying: "Oh, save me from that terrible man, for he has a woeful temper and a very strong arm!" So, because his high-sounding speeches and queer deeds provided them with a good deal of amusement, they laughingly protected him from Oscur's wrath; for they knew that Conan had no power to ever injure Fionn.` #Celtic

Although people talk of your wisdom and foreknowledge, it's little enough I see of it, and I think I've twice as much myself. Indeed I think, too, that I should make a much better chief of the Fianna than you do, and it is a perpetual wonder to me that the Fians do not depose you, and elect me in your place." `#Fionn and all his party were tired and hungry, but they shouted with laughter at Conan. He was regarded as the jester of the Fianna Eireann, and no matter how rude and scoffing his speeches were, no one heeded them.` #Celtic
