#needle binding

[ferncrafts]

First thing I ever successfully needlebound (and finished). It’s a little wrist warmer.

It’s a little difficult to put on, as all the stretch is in the “length” of it. However I’ve gotten enough practice that it’s no issue for me.

used needlebinding to make a mudcrab

needlebinding (or nålebinding) is an ancient way of making stuff out of string, older than knitting or crocheting. learned it at a renaissance fair

I made two naals and starting naalbinding a hat! Needlebinding is...I mean, it's just so...hmm what is the word? Excellent. Soothing. Frustrating. Thicc. Hngh, squish that hat-to-be.

I found some beautiful Icelandic wool yarn and made my first-ever pair of nalbinding mittens!

My needle binding adventures continue, this time I noticed that the tip of the slipper was way too fucking tight so I decided to take a risk and cut it off to needle it shut where it was fine. Seems to have worked out? Nothings falling apart, so now I just need to figure out how to close it again, cause I don't have instructions for that. I'll figure it out.

First needle binding project

[drunk-on-shadows-my-love]

Nadelbinden läuft richtig gut, das war mein Erstprojekt, ein paar Stulpen.

Als nächstes musste ich unbedingt ganz neugierig ausprobieren, ob das mit dem Aufschneiden nadelgebundener Stücke wirklich funktioniert: Tut es! Dann gleich mal Ansetzen versucht und Knopflöcher. Das angesetzte Stück sieht etwas wobbelig aus, aber es ist ja auch der Erstversuch gewesen. Außerdem habe ich da dünnere Wolle genommen und dafür war die Nadel zu dick, aber wen interessiert's? Hab jetzt was zur Nadelaufbewahrung. :3
