More Yarn Please

The photo is not very good and I still need to wash and iron it, but I couldn't wait to show my first ever big cross stitch project;

Me, spends several months knitting a sweater: It takes time, it’ll all be worth it when it comes together. The joy is in the journey, right?

Learning colorwork at my desk.

I finished knitting my first pair of socks please clap

Me, holding a 50g ball of yarn: surely knitting 15 of these into a sweater won't weigh more than like. 100g

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.

Nalbinding aka needle binding is when you use yarn and a big sewing needle to make fabric btw

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.

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.

I found this channel by a nice man who makes up close tutorials

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.

While knitting: I am a knitting expert who can make anything.
