I've been doing a lot of nalbinding lately. I love how easy it is to carry around during these busy summer months. I made a hat for a friend. You will have to wait until after Pennsic to see a picture of it, but I am pleased with how it turned out. My other favorite project is a pair of gloves. Nalbound gloves are very late period - 13th and 14th century to the best of my knowledge. Here is my pair: They are made using the Danish stitch. I chose it because it is very fine - not at all bulky. Best of all, they fit my hands better than any commercial pair I own. I am definitely going to make another pair - using a silk and merino blend I spun. I am also making a pair of mittens - with bulky commercial yarn, because I fell in love with the color: These are made using the Alsike stitch. I like that this stitch looks different on the two sides. I have turned the finished mitten "inside-out." On that side the ribs are more pronounced, and the space between the ribs looks almost woven. It is not a difficult stitch to do, and I love the texture of it. I've also been working on a few knitting projects, but I'll leave that for another post.
