Naalbinding: One-Needle Knitting Style

Do you enjoy knitting? There's pleasure in making homemade items. It can give you such a good feeling to produce something you've fashioned with your own hands.

On a trip to Newfoundland, I had the good fortune to visit the Viking village and we were introduced to the Norse knitting style called naalbinding. This form of knitting was passed down from the Vikings and employs the use of a single eyed needle.

Naalbinds, as they are called, are challenging to make and result in sturdy, stretchy material. It has been said that naalbinding is a cross between sewing, darning and crocheting. Naalbinded items are truly unique . . .
