what not to wear (if you're a viking woman)

just saw this article, i'm not posting it as a research website, i'm specifically posting this as a no-no............i just wanted to make sure that, if someone saw this, they didn't think "oh, this is on the web, it's new research, it must be true!!"..............

i've checked it out with a number of other people who do viking research, from what i'm hearing, the author is out of her gourd (and not just from the reenactment community, evidently the archaeologists think she's nuts too).........common consensus is that this is too impractical for a viking woman to have worn.........it doens't strike anyone as being acceptable.......

please please please, be careful when you do research.........i always try adn make sure i've got several sources, especially ones that don't lead back to each other!! because, say you've got three websites, but site one has bad info, then sites two adn three get their info from site one; yeah, you've got three sites, but they all are built on bad information.........

so please.......check and double check!! i'm always on the lookout for new stuff.......but stuff that makes sense............if something sets off your suspicions, or makes you go "but huh?!?", it very well might not be right............trust that intuition, it's smarter than you think it is........

and if this is right, i'll knit a hat just so i can eat it..........
