    I am a firm believer in the concept that if you can do it with the wrong tools, you'll do great with the right tools. (For example, i learned to knit with two chopsticks). That being said, my tapestry needles are in for a wild ride in the morning.

    watches to the point of actually seeing the process and recognizes it as a old stim habit THIS IS WHAT THIS IS??? THIS HAS A NAME???

    Oh my god, I think this is what my great grandma used to do. My mom and grandma always said she knitted, but looking at all her awesome blankets, I could never figure out what stitch it was, and it never looked like crochet. Looking at pictures of nalbinding blankets, this must be it! Thank you!
  • I made myself a wooden needle, so now it's time to give it a go!
  • I did it! I did it! I've been trying so hard to learn this because I'm obsessed with all things Viking, but I'm afraid I'm dumb as a rock when it comes to tying knots and such. Yours is the first video that got through to me and I'm actually making chains now. I'm perfectly content to practice my chains for quite a while before I move on to anything else. I really want to make one of those pointy hats for myself eventually. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
  • @masterjarrus
    Length of thread and having the needle threaded first would be a great thing to mention since both crochet and knitting have you keep the rest attached

    I have pretty small hands so the on the thumbs works much better for me, though I also try to keep it pretty much at the tip of the thumb 👍
  • @ThePhantazmya
    This is the method I needed. Everyone else shows the thumb loops and my thumbs are huge so I never get a satisfying result without using super bulky yarns. I want to use my hand-spun which is usually around a sport weight yarn. Maybe now I can finally make the hood I wanted for winter. Thank you!
  • Hey, that worked! I have a beautiful chain! I’ll practice that a bit more then go to the next tutorial. Many thanks for a great tute.
  • @duskyclench8457
    It's taken three evenings of noodling and multiple tutorials but yours was the one that stuck. I managed a not entirely terrible chain, thank you!
  • @fiona36b
    I like your second technique better than the first ❀
  • @Max-zk3oc
    This was very helpful! I have never naalbinded before and i struggle with keeping tension on other woven projects. I found that if you leave skack in the current loop you just made, then start the next loop leaving the needle in the middle. I found that i could then tighten the last loop around the needle for a consistent loop size every time. Im sure experts already do this, but it felt fun to find out in the moment

    This has been amazing for me. I'm left handed and trying to do the on the thumb method has had me ridiculously frustrated, just cant seem to even get started. This way works brilliantly and as its York stitch its authentic for the UK for the only sock found here (that im aware of) so I can start making my own socks and mittens for re-enacting. Within 3 goes ive had an even chain of stitching thats better than i ever expected. Thank you so much !

    I really appreciate a tutorial for freestyle instead of on the thumb! I've been going down a rabbit hole of nalbinding today and have been getting frustrated with the thumb tutorials
  • @caseycollins2775
    Just stumbled across your video and since I love history and crafts I'm giving this a try, I'm very excited.❀
  • @lindalines603
    Thank you so much Ylva. Your video is beautiful, clear, and very helpful.
  • @944gemma
    I’d say you did an amazing job. I love knitting and spinning. I love history. AND I am bound and determined to learn this amazing, and ancient method used to keep people warm.
  • @celineneveu4848
    Thank you! Loving this, I'm hooked. You're very good at teaching 😊
  • @brendajekel2975
    I am so glad I came across your tutorial. I so appreciated the clear, step-by-step instructions. After trying both methods, I too prefer "off the thumb". Now to practice! Thank you!
