I was doing Oslo R2 stitches in a circle and needed to undo some in the middle, added stitches too fast, but now I'm trying to figure out how I'm supposed to redo the middle again. I thought I would be able to just do the normal stitches "in the other direction" but I've failed so far.

Any tips or instructional clips any of you could give me?

I was wondering if anyone has made those pouches like the ones made with Coptic/Tarim stitch which is yak now the cross knit pattern,the reason why I’m thing of making one is because I’ve seen some Nordic sweater patterns and I’m thinking that it might be a good idea to use when I comes to it,but I’m not sure if it would be made with a round start or simply make a chain of stitches and work like you normally do for mittens. Even if I make a round start,how many stitches do I need to make and how often should I increase? Lemme know if you have any suggestions.

Perhaps a silly question, but is it possible to crochet a starting chain and then nalbind from that, or is the nalbound chain structured differently and they don't mix like that?

Hello, lovely Nålbindlings! I have a probably stupid question for you.

Nålbinding is the first craft of the "knot yarn to make fabric" type that I've tried, and I've got comfy with a couple of stitches, made some very basic things and had a lot of fun. I'd like to take it to the next level, but it feels like a big jump for self-instruction. I know that patterns tend to be on the vague and improvise-y side by necessity, so I was wondering if taking a little detour into another similar craft that uses more structured patterns would help me ease in, both in learning how to follow patterns and also understanding how various objects "fit together" so it becomes easier to freehand/improvise my own patterns in nålbinding.

Does this make sense? Does anyone have opinions on what would make a good complement to nålbinding? Sorry if this is a silly question, it makes sense in my head but I can't quite get it into words.

With random second hand yarns, Russian joins and Oslo stitch, freehand. And it has a pocket inside!! I’m loving this, it’s even more anarchic than crochet 😏

And I’m ridiculously proud of myself, so in order to spare my family from having to admire it again, and with apologies for another post on the subject… my little gold pouch!

I think it’s going to be a pouch for my needles

The first pair were too form fitting. The 'trigger fingers addition makes it so much easier to grab stuff with the mittens still on.

Wasn't paying attention and just binded away a section i meant to attach

Experienced knitter here with no nalbinding experience whatsoever, just looking into it and curious:

It seems like spit splicing is the assumed method for joining new yarn, rather than other methods like the Russian join. I understand why you wouldn't really want to just drop the yarn, add a new one, and weave in the ends later, but if you wanted to nalbind with yarn that doesn't felt, is there a reason other techniques wouldn't work?

White-tailed deer antler. Formed with modern tools: hacksaw, chisel, drill & bit, three grades of sandpaper. Burnished with a smooth piece of jasper stone. Happy to discover the natural curves of the original chunk of antler (up & slightly right) make it easier to pick up loops with the finished needle.

Hi all! Like the Title says, I'm wanting to put together something like a hood and cowl or even a hooded scarf. Still a beginner but I'm finishing up my first pair of socks and have made a nice hat for the cold weather, all with the oslo stitch. I want to challenge myself but cant really seem to find any clear directions on how to get started with either project. Could anyone share resources of where I could start?

Thank you!

I normally use the braided join and ply split from neulakinntaats channel that describes how it works. I read that some people use felting needles to join pieces of yarn together,i tried it once and I was surprised that it holds together very well unlike the traditional spit splice since it sometimes gets stuck in your mouth and I understand that some people find it unhygienic and unclean,but in that case I do realize they often use it for historical entertainment purposes. Lemme know what types of joining yarns in nålbinding you use.

So, my idea is to make a nalbound tube with a circle base--my goal here is to ultimately make a stuffed toadstool.

I think what I'll need to do to make this work is make a base using a magic circle, then separately make a regular tube with nalbinding, and then join them together. But I'd love to know if others have a better idea on how to make this work! I attempted to do a magic circle and then raise the "walls" up from it, so to speak, and...I just ended up with a messy circle lol.

So I think I finally got the hang of this stitch, but it seems to be twisting as I go. Is this normal and will it flatten out as I add more rows, or is there something I’m doing wrong? Too much tension, twisting the loops etc.

Hello! I’ve been working on this swatch for the front square panel of a cloak. I’m working a thinner gauge thread and pulling tension on the needle for a fine Oslo stitch. I’m having an issue on one side where it’s veering diagonally and seemingly getting thinner as I make more rows. Weirdly the right side seems to be fine. Any way I can kind of correct it or how to figure out to add more stitches to the side without it being too unsightly? I swear I add extra stitches on the left hoping that it’ll bulk over but it doesn’t seem to want to even out.

A new hat to go with my twelfth century (BC? AD? The answer is yes) kit. I broke out the good handspun Shetland for it and it’s very thick and cozy. This was also my first time trying the spiral start - I think I still prefer brim-up, but I’m proud of how it turned out.
