Hello from Germany, These were quite easy patterns/stitches. They are published on the German needle "Nadelbindeliste" and the two winners and all scarfs are ...
Hello Gunnvor, it is very nice that you have answered to my posting. I stay at the end of June and at the beginning of July for a few days in Oslo. Of course I...
I think that it might be the oslo stitch - but I'm not sure, I have to check it with my friends that do nålbinding. /Maria in Denmark ... -- Maria Lind Heel ...
It's definetly not the oslo stitch (uo/uoo), which attaches to two preceeding stitches. It looks like a cross between the loop-and-twist (-/-o\u/o) and u/oo,...
... It really looks like Danish stitch with an extra twist. Not an over-the-thumb stitch at all. I'm doing a Danish stitch project right now, and all I would...
It's different from the Danish stitch (ignoring the extra twist) in that the Danish stitch is O/UO and this one is U/OO. But it does connect through the same...
sorry, I cant help either way~ everytime I see these written out.. I 'hear' a singer crooning... sometimes badly~ lol~ and this is probably why I only have...
I'm confused... The danish stitch, does that have another name than with O and U ? Is that the same as tid medievel stitch og as the mammen stitch ? ........
Does anyone know which stitch is being demonstrated in this YouTube video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NATKKwOe0eE Thanks! Teri [Non-text portions of this...
I would say it looks like OUUU/OOOUU B1, but it's a bit hard to tell because it's worked in a different way (i.e. not on the thumb), and I'm not too familiar...
I agree with you. In all my years I have only seen one person work in the way shown - and that person was only doing it to show that it could be done. There...
... Well, I'm sure others have some very good ideas on this, but the ones that I've made, I've simply oiled with the oil from my fingers. No stain, no special...
I just rub the needle across my forehead and nose. I have made my needles from red oak and my skin oil darkens them up slightly. Also the lanolin in the wool...
I have never made a needle, but have done a wax tablet before, and used Lindseed oil on the wood. It dries slow, but after 2 years the book has no sign of...
I like to work with the technique used before sandpaper, wich naturally gives the wood a smooth and shiny surface. You carve the whole needle with a sharp...
Hi I was just wondering if you have any pictures of your new needle? And if you have taken any pictures of the process on making it? /Maria in Denmark ... ...
... linseed oil. it is non-toxic and also darkens the wood slightly. Be careful with "boiled linseed oil". My recollection (confirmed by wikipedia) is that...
... walnut pen blank > I would reccommend the 'natural' oil method, human sweat and lanolin from the wool. I have used this on several needled with good...
Mine aren't made out of wood, they're made out of antler (a friend makes the), so I can't offer any advice on how to finish the wood. A needle made of walnut...
Beautiful needle Teri. Inspired by you I have also posted up some pictures. One is of needles I have made (not as grand as yours Teri). The others are of a...
... walnut pen blank (cut in half lengthwise). ... Inspired by your beautiful needle I have posted up some pictures of a project of mine. The first picture is...
What fantastic information! I'm going to pass it along to my husband who loves woodworking and just made his first naalbinding needle for me. I think he...
Oh, these are stunning! I loved the textures of your needles-- what kind of wood are they? Did you whittle the flute, too? Beautiful nalbinding cover, by...
Great that you are having fun with needle making. Just a word of advice, green wood will dry out and possible split/crack. Try to get dead wood to work with,...
... advice, green wood will dry out and possible split/crack. Try to get dead wood to work with, may be a little harder to work with but I think you will see...
The needles are lacewood, also from a pen blank. They look different as the rays are on the flat of the needle on one and at 90 degrees to that on the other...
