Kråkevisa translation (there are many, many more verses): no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kr%C3%A5kevisa
Å, mannen han gjekk seg i veaskog (Oh, the man went into the firewood forest)
Hei fara, i veaskog (Hei fara, into the firewood forest)
Der satt der ei kråke i lunden og gol (In the grove there was a crow crowing)
Hei fara, faltu riltu raltu ra (Hei fara, faltu riltu raltu ra)
Og mannen han snudde om hesten sin (And the man turned his horse back around)
Hei fara, om hesten sin (Hei fara, his horse back around)
Så køyrde han heimat til garden igjen (And drove back to the farm again)
Hei fara, faltu riltu raltu ra (Hei fara, faltu riltu raltu ra)
Men kråka kom etter på taket og gol (But the crow followed on the roof and crowed)
Hei fara, på taket og gol (Hei fara, on the roof and crowed)
Og mannen, han opp gjennom ljoren fór (And the man went up through the smoke hole)
Hei fara, faltu riltu raltu ra (Hei fara, faltu riltu raltu ra)
Og mannen han spende sin boge for kne (And the man he strung his bow by the knee)
Hei fara, sin boge for kne (Hei fara, his bow by the knee)
Så skaut han den kråka så ho datt ned (And he shot the crow so she fell down)
Hei fara, faltu riltu raltu ra (Hei fara, faltu riltu raltu ra)
Og kjøtet han salta i tyner og fat (And the meat he salted in barrels and throughs)
Hei fara, i tyner og fat (Hei fara, in barrels and throughs)
Og tunga han brukte til jolemat (And the tongue he used for the yule feast)
Hei fara, faltu riltu raltu ra (Hei fara, faltu riltu raltu ra)
Og den som 'kje kråka kan nytta so (And if someone cannot use a crow to this extent)
Hei fara, kan nytta so (Hei fara to this extent)
Han er'kje verd ei kråke å få (He is not worthy of a crow to get)
Hei fara, faltu riltu raltu ra (Hei fara, faltu riltu raltu ra)

I'm from Spain, I teach myself basic nålbinding to knit my sister mittens for her reenactor viking event.
-
I love to nalbind! My favourite needle is one my husband made from our lilac bush! 🇨🇦
-
All respect for creators like you who got the patience for nålbinding. Fascinating seeing you create with this old craft. Additional perks. Wool inspector🐈⬛
-
The song at the end really surprised me. It was a lovely surprise. Thank you for your original content. It is amazing to see creators like you that are not turning to whatever seems to be on trend right now, but rather producing unusual and therefore super interesting and entertaining videos. Much love from Germany ❤

A) What's learning one more fibercraft? Nalbinding has been tempting me for so long. XD B) The song at the end was great! I totally get how anxiety inducing it would be to put yourself out there like that but totally worth it. :) Very cool.
-
I've never watched anyone do nålbinding before and I'm absolutely fascinated. May need to add this to my repertoire of fiber arts dalliances.
-
I learned knitting crochet embroidery from my mom. Added quilting. I just ordered nalbinding needles. Amazing skills need to be continued and are my version of meditation. Thank you for introducing us to nalbinding.
-
Ooh I loved you speaking Norwegian and the song at the end! I wonder how knitting and needle binding compare in warmth, with it being knots vs loops 🤔
-
"Now that you know everything you need to know" 🤣🤣. I am going to use this in everything I try to do.
-
I came for the nälbinding and learned this along the way: "The Spælsau (Old Norwegian Short Tail Landrace, Gamalnorsk spæl Norwegian) is a breed of sheep" quoted from a Wikipedia article. I love learning more.
-
I would love to see Epic set up small gardens in different climates (like tropical, southeastern US, gulf coast, SW desert, etc.) to show how to garden wherever the audience is.
-
oh lovely!!!!! I always say that this year is going to be the year I learn nalbinding... maybe this year really will be the year haha. You make it look so easy, but I know it takes a lot of skill and focus! Thanks for sharing this project!
-
I just found you today.Wonderful content.Thank you from Germany.😊
-
The only other traditions I know of are weaving, which is at least 10,000 years old but almost definitely more, and sewing in all its versions. This is such a cool video! Those mittens are super pretty. My mom teaches nalbinding and so I’m starting to learn, so it always fun to see cool projects
-
Very interesting, but all I can think about is your shawl! It's beautiful and practical and I am not a shawl lover!
-
nalbinding is always something I've wanted to try. Thank you for answering if a darning needle would work for this project!
-
Beautiful song at the end. And beautiful mittens.
-
❤❤❤
-
Wow the song at the end is so beautiful
-
I love all things yarn! This was fun to learn about. I know I'll end up trying this. ❤😊
