Nalbinding

While I have always enjoyed fibercrafts, I have a particularly strong fascination with this one, at the moment. I haven't managed much more than the York stitch and the Oslo stitch, but they serve me well.

Ah, I didn't catch this is craft used for making viking clothing. I've seen it many times on shows about/or featuring vikings (my favorite being the show of the same name). I never really thought about it when I'd see knit garb on screen, but now that I've seen it, it's very different from gran's crochet.

Have you made complete bits of garb using this method?

I have made a spiral keychain with a darning needle and crochet cotton, and a bag from wool roving. I'm fairly new to the craft!

Cool! What material do you use? Yarn? Wool?

[DaystarNemesis]

Whatever I can get my hands on! I've used both of those, as well as plastic bag strips and pipe cleaners (chenille stems?).

I will have to look it up!

Oh, most definitely. The biggest appeal (and detriment) to me is the fact that you can't unravel it completely at a tug, no matter what bit you jerk at.
