Both needlebinding and embroidery are entirely in wool.

unknown if base colour is just white sheep or bleached in some way.

Finally finished this nålebinding set. Made for a friend in trade for an interchangeable knitting needle set.

having gotten used to the pace of nålbinding, it is actually BONKERS how fast knitting goes

I'm so excited to let you know that the National Museum of Denmark's online exhibition of Archaeological Puzzles in a Museum is now open! I was honored to write Case study 8 on the fringed nalbound sock in their collection.

Adventures in Nålbinding Chapter 1 - The Hat

I've been doing this on Instagram, but turns out I hate that app, so let's see how posting crafts on Tumblr will turn out 😅

I am currently making some gloves for my cousins birthday. Knitting would have been not enough work I guess, so I decided to use an ancient Roman needle binding technique. Looks the same as knitting, but takes at least ten times as long 🤣

So its been about a week and I actually got some notes on my post about Bertha so here's an update!

Basically... nothing's happened so far🙃 the book says that you should start seeing some change after a week, but no dice so far😔.

We do have quite a bit of bubbles though, and I'm hoping that means the fermentation process has started. If nothing happens by friday I might try to help it along a bit with some dry yeast and see if that helps.

and

good resource for needlebinding, one from a very finnish focused source for instruction and the other about very fine needlebinding in china :-)

my first ever attempt at an inset heel! also my first ever attempt at working a spiral inwards instead of outwards. closing it was a bit tricky but I think I managed okay. there were some gaps in the innermost stitches when I finished, despite me keeping the tension pretty high for the girth of this yarn, but I just wove the tail through the holes and it filled in pretty nicely.

"inset heel" isn't a technical term and I didn't find anything relevant when I googled it, but just in terms of adjective-noun combos it's the best way I can think to describe what I'm doing here. if you want a better breakdown of how I worked this, it's basically the in-the-round variant of "heel type C" as described here: https://www.shelaghlewins.com/reenactment/naalbinding/sock_construction.htm (accessed 12/20/23). that's the one in figure 9. I didn't quite follow these directions, so what do I know, but they seem like good directions!
