Nalbinding

[Lee Kushrenada]

have any of you ever heard of Nalbinding?

it's like 4000 year's older than knitting and is done with one needle, kind of like a tapestry needle.
sadly it is not very well known at all, I got a book about it along with a bone needle, but it's not easy for me to lean thing's from picture's in book's...and these picture's and not very good at all.
so I was wondering if any of you know how, or have even heard of this. @.@

I've never heard of it, and our public libraries don't have anything on it. If its that old, you're probably lucky to have found the one book.

...I'll take it your at the librarie. xd
it is weard that there is so little info on itI can find tone's for knitting and other stuff... most of what I know about knitting I got from web video's, but there really is very little on nalbinding.

I came across this page while looking up stuff for bobbin lace. It's the only page I've seen that gives a tutorial. Luckily, I found it interesting enough to bookmark, so here ya go.

I found this in someone's blog. It seems pretty useful.

If there's a chapter of the SCA near you, check them for Nalbinders! That's how I'm learning smile

I have done this before, but found it extremely tedious, so I gave it up. I do, however, love the fact that if you wear a hole in it, it doesn't ravel very quickly.

my friend taught mehow todo this,all I've done is made a bag, lol.

Its origiinally Viking I believe. I hate having to pull all the yarn through each stitch- and I hate joining. I have a friend who felts the ends together but I coan't do that so I tie them, lol
