Hello, I'm new here and getting lost on YouTube and Google. Are there any resources for patterns that won't break the bank? Maybe something that teaches how to read the patterns TIA

Constructive criticism welcome.

Looking forward to my first project

Few questions.

How does this differ to knitting/crochet what are the advantages and disadvantages of this over them?

If I do get started, where would be a great place to start? Any books/videos you would recommend with simple projects to get me going?

Nål and Nålbinding is under the cat. This is slow and painful work. Help!

I made another needle. I know it’s chunky, it’s how I like ‘em. A little whittling project for the night. A friend gave me a lot of wood from a magnolia tree. Inside the tree is this needle, waiting to be found and freed!

Hey there, can anyone recommend a good sock tutorial video? I'm pretty new and still learning to do a starting swirl around the toe (I forget the real word for it 😂😅) and don't get drawings of "how to do socks" in books. Thanks in advance

If I’m not mistaken, nalbinding originated in Scandinavia in the late Iron age (don’t shoot me plz, I’m new to this). Are there any examples of findings or known techniques that originate in early Iron Age, mainly in central or west Europe?

I'm trying to learn nalbinding using a couple of books I found and YouTube videos. I'm using the Oslo stitch and can make the first row, but when I go to join it, it ends up twisted into a mobius strip even though I've been careful to straighten it before joining. Does anyone have any advice?

I have been using my thumb, or pulling the thread to the gauge I want. Is there an easier or fast way to do it? Can I use the needle for gauge? Thank you in advance!

After having stopped with needle binding for a while, I finally picked it up again and finished my fingerless mittens made with merino wool. Couldn't be happier with em and already started with the next pair.

After a brief hiatus due to surgery, I bring you another Nalbound Object of the Week. This artifact was mentioned as an aside in an article about Pierre de Courpalay’s gloves (which will be a later post) and for the longest time I could find no more information about it other than it was supposedly an early 14th century green silk reliquary pouch from Namur, Belgium worked in space patterned Simple Looping with a carried thread. There was a stitch diagram, but no picture. My friend Ann Moreau took up the quest to track down more information and was able to provide me with a photograph and a couple of very interesting sources … https://nalbound.com/2024/10/01/now-namur-reliquary-purse-229f/

Hello everybody. I’m getting ready to start my second project, a pair of socks. I want to use these around the house as more of a slipper to keep my feet warm this winter. Most examples start with a spiral toe, but what if I wanted more of a square toe? Can I take a chain and make an open circle for the toe then start to work back from there? Would need to find a way to sew or stitch the circle closed but that can’t be overly difficult.

I just got my needle in the mail and i don’t know much at all about other fiber arts like crocheting. I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a tutorial that will take me completely through a simple project so i can get the hang of all parts of it.

My goal is to be able to gift something small for Christmas this year, like fingerless mittens. So something like that would be awesome if that’s considered an easy first project 😊

I know this is a big ask - I visited Norway with my family this summer, and my 8-year-old niece (who finger-knits and knits and loves yarn and yarn shops in general) met a lovely lovely lady who was Nålbinding, and she just fell in love. We bought her a needle and some yarn, and we'd like to help her continue as she likes it so much. We'd really need an illustrated book, so she isn't reliant on us finding youtube videos and helping her (she has limited screen allowance) and if at all possible in Italian so that her parents can help her out when she gets stuck, as I live far away. Any advice?

Does anyone know where I can get something the same size as a darning needle but made out of wood or bone? I tried working a project with a metal darning needle but it was painful to hold after a while- wood is much easier on my hands. Thanks in advance!

I'm not going to say it went great, but it was fun, haha, and in the end, I did wind up with a new dice bag

I’m using the 2+2+2 of the Russian stitch since it’s basically my mother’s fav of the Russian stitch patterns in nålbinding. I found this yarn at my local thrift store and I thought it’s baby blue,it turns out to be pastel green which I’m not sure if it looks identical to baby blue or not.

I took a 2 hour nålbinding course at a library today. This is my slightly wonky first attempt. I'm looking forward to getting better at this and adding it to my bag of hobbies.
