Nipper means child or youth.

runes is a noun.

futhark is probably a name for a specific type of rune set.

maybe. Could be rongggh. Lol

Futhark comes from the formation of the first letters of the Ancient Norse alphabet - in the same way our name 'alphabet' comes from the first two letters; Alpha, Beta

There were several Futhark alphabets; Elder, Younger, Danish, Old, New, Saxon et cetera

Runes is a generic term for writing using only straight lines; prehistoric man wrote on stones using straight lines, the writing looks like blocks of bar-codes. Thus the Ancient Norse is Viking Runes

futhark runes as a nipper

I did not know that.

I did not know futhark, (okay, truth be told, I still don't know futhark), and I thought runes was a noun, and nipper escapes me, completely. So, I am now more informed, but as to what, I'm not sure. I LOVE THIS FORUM! 

I do like to think that if I watched the total series of Monty Python again, I'd understand this. Except my local Brit translator passed away a while ago. And without him, I'd still not know that "xheour.letyhe[ri]tj" tanslated as "well, that's a fair cop". I'll never get that hour back. (Volume up, listen, volume up more, listen, give up and call the Scot.) RIP, Ted. I LOVE THIS FORUM!

I could have been helpful...

When young I saw some Nordic writing and set out to understand it.

Nah, that sounds too stiff upper lip for me.

Brilliant explanation, thanks Fred.

Wish I could remember the whole of it now, but it helped when I read Lord of the Rings.

Best to all

Harry- give this a go- if you can extrapolate the patterns to leather its a ready made free resource- Caveat- I have not done any of these bags in leather... I have sewn several in canvas and quilted jaquards (upholstery weight)when I was starting to sew this summer.

This site as a whole has a load of "crafty" patterns- but I have only wandered this page or two.

 

Hope it helps- be safe and as always- enjoy the days!

Looks good thank you.

Still intrigued to see the book...

My library has dipped out, so not in any UK library as they can all share. I am looking at ebay so watch this space...

I have the book, it is thin on details but does show all the parts needed for a type of construction.

Thank you Nlfrchief, that's what I wondered, having seen one of their other books.

I may still get it for the background,

Welcome to the forum .

It was significantly reduced on Amazon, so I have ordered it, and will post a review when I get it.
