I have been watching the weekly needle binding group chats with Karin and Mona and looking forward to seeing this tiny stitched bag. I am still working on the basics, but making small stitches appeals to me as a goal and I haven't become frustrated with it because I haven't gotten far enough to be. Very cool bag.
I know! I am inevitably attracted to tiny stitches too 🤣🤣 the whole process is so relaxing that I don't mind it taking longer 😊 I am happy you like the bag!
That's really a good point about using old ends -- people wasted NOTHING back then. Nalbinding must have been seen as a wonderful way to use those short scraps from warping a loom, whereas today, we are so used to knitting and crocheting with whole skeins that we dislike the constant thread joins.
@@VMuraz It might also answer a question I had about why nalbinding disappeared as a craft. In the late middle ages to renaissance, weaving started to become industrial and no longer a home industry. Once there was no loom in a home, there were no warp scraps either, and no need to nalbind to use them up. I think nalbinding might have had the same relationship to home weaving as quilting had to home dressmaking.
Such a good point! And with knitting and crochet being a way faster technique and with the possibility of making way bigger projects on top of that... No wonder it almost dissapeared
I’m new to naalbinding and I’m so mean to myself because I’m a sucker for making tiny stitches, not quite that tiny yet and I’m definitely taking notes on the tightening down technique you employed, and I definitely need more practice to even get York stitch down, so I’ll get there! This will help me make the socks I want to have!
I'm also working on a tiny stitch bag, and it's driving me slightly mad - mostly because my thread is kind of uneven because it's homespun. I'm doing mammen with an M1(middle) connection tightened to a needle. These stitches are even tinier though! Well done (and yes, I think you are a little crazy, but aren't we all?).
Brilliant use for loom trimmings, but such a labour of love! Beautiful stitches. Thanks for sharing.
I suport the way you think, use every bit of tread, use the time it takes to make it, and use the things you make - looking forward to the next part
No piece of thread shall be left behind! 😊💪

Its very good! Nice to see how to use left over weaving yarn. 👍
I like using every last bit of everything, so I can make the most out of it 😊😊

Absolutely! Having spun my own yarn and knowing how long it takes, I wouldn't waste anything 😅🙈

I know the feeling... but tiny stitches are so nice! 😍😍 I am happy that this could help, and definitely let me know about your progress 😊

Absolutely! It's wonderful to see that I have crazy companionship along the way 😅🤣 Can't wait to see that bag!
When my starting chain is twisted, I iron it flat! Cheating, I know...it works great!
We can keep each others secrets 😏😏
@@VMuraz 👍
How do you make the turn with York? I am having so much trouble making it look clean!
Do you mean at the bottom of the bag? 🤔😊
