I realized that I’ve gifted 5 scarves now but have never made one for myself. So I decided to try cabling for the first time and make myself a scarf! Cables are actually so much simpler than I realized!
Also it seems I am drawn to this goldenrod color….

was crawling around on the floor for like 2 hours blocking my dress #mydress and chat. my back. it hurts.
anyways. look at this.
ok great job looking everybody. now this.
I finished knitting my first pair of socks please clap
Made them with a mystery cashmere blend yarn I bought second-hand and some kid silk mohair I wanted to use up. They are surprisingly comfy and not itchy.
The thing that blindsides me every time is how heavy a crochet project quickly becomes. 2kg of yarn weighs 2kg but I always somehow feel like when it is absorbed into The Project it should no longer weigh 2kg.
Each ball is only 100g which is very light so crocheting 20 of them together should also be very light.
Me, holding a 50g ball of yarn: surely knitting 15 of these into a sweater won't weigh more than like. 100g
Me, later: by Talos this can't be happening
ME AND MY 6KG AND COUNTING GIANT BLANKET!!!!!
I’m kinda surprised that nalbinding isn’t as popular as crochet and knitting tbh because it has an even lower barrier of entry tools wise and unlike crochet and knitting it makes fabric that you can cut.
I guess it’s because it’s slower or something.
Nalbinding aka needle binding is when you use yarn and a big sewing needle to make fabric btw
It also has a lot of different kinds of stitches you can do that make different densities of fabric.
Some people even make rugs.
I feel like part of it might be casual people are generally aware of the existence of crochet and knitting, even if they don’t know very much about either, but have never heard of nalbinding
Yeah I hadn’t heard of it until recently and I ordered a big bone needle for myself to try it out and that should be arriving soon.
I was surprised that I’d never heard of it though. It’s older than knitting and crocheting and even though it’s been done all over the world it’s super relevant to Nordic culture and my grandmother and I are both into keeping in touch with our roots a bit so I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it.
It seems like the sort of thing that would be popular even if not as popular as crocheting and knitting, considering the low barrier of entry.
You also don’t need a bunch of different sized needles for nalbinding or whatever. The size of the stitch is controlled either completely freehand or by pulling it against one of your fingers. Most people who have a lot of nalbinding needles seem to either have tried out wood, bone, and metal ones to see which kind they liked or they enjoy carving wood or bone and like making their own needles as an extra hobby.
It’s also a lot easier to freehand and adjust as you go than crochet or knitting and you mostly go by inches instead of rows and number of stitches so a large number of accessories like stitch markers or whatever isn’t really necessary.
Maybe the lack of accessories also makes it unpopular idk. People do like collecting things in their nests.
I've been wanting to do so, I cannot find anyone who can teach me, and any books I can find on it are Ass in the Visual Learning department. Otherwise I'd be making the hell outta some nalbinded fabric
I found this channel by a nice man who makes up close tutorials
I create videos on YouTube to learn people how to needlebind using two fingers and your thumb. Needlebinding helps people to relax, relieve
I thought this would be kind of a niche post to make but I was quickly reminded that I’m on tumblr, the website full of gay people with one billion hobbies.
So my bone needle actually came this evening (yay!) and I’ve started trying this for real. It clicks in my brain way easier than crochet does. I’ve gotta work up the muscle memory but I think I can do this.
The downside as a beginner is that undoing mistakes is more time consuming than with knitting or crochet. You’ve gotta like sew your mistakes out backwards. Disadvantages of making a really sturdy fabric I guess.
I like the feel of this bone needle though and don’t think I’ll be trying the wooden or metal ones.
Also I think I’m gonna have to get good at doing Russian joining if I decide to get good at nalbinding because I don’t have wool yarn and the ends won’t felt together if it’s not at least 50% wool. A small price to pay for using big bone needle though.
Anyways curse of new fiber craft be upon ye.

my dear friend just looked up from the hat she's crocheting for a very large spherical rock we found in the river and said, in a slightly haunted tone that revealed this was the first time she was having this thought, "i should make something for my cousin's real human baby"
who needs a real human baby when you could have rock son with jaunty hat
While knitting: I am a knitting expert who can make anything.
While counting rows: I have forgotten how to count and also how to knit.
once you let yarn into your house it’s over. it’s like sand there will just always be be more. “oh i’ll just make something with all the scraps” - congratulations you just entered the time loop idiot.

it’s been a few days and he loves it
I knit this sweater in memory of my dog Rocky. This was my first yoke sweater and also my first fully top down in the round piece. I self drafted it too. I’m so happy with how it turned out! It took about 7 weeks and I used peer gynt held with soft silk mohair.
Blocking my first fair isle wearable. Pattern from Yarnspirations Cumberland Knit Yoke Sweater.
i finished another fairisle vest! the motifs and colours were picked/designed with input from the recipient
chart i made under the cut!
This might be the first day since last year that I haven't had any yarn on order.
Does this mean that I have everything that I need?
Or does this mean that I need to order more yarn?
Update: More yarn.

Did you start with crochet or with knitting*? Which do you prefer?
Started with crochet and then knitting and prefer crochet
Started with crochet and then knitting but prefer knitting
