Nålebinding / Nalbinding: Oslo stitch around a dowel.

Thank you so much. I have carpal tunnel and this is so much better for my hand!

[@kbyom]

So happy it could help! I’ve had carpal tunnel (and chronic tendinitis) in both wrists , elbows and shoulders for nearly 30 years. I can knit or crochet for about a week before I have to rest my arms, but Nalbinding works for me. I can change up my arm movements or do something like this :)

genius method for when you want a smaller or larger gage than your thumb! thank you! :-)

[@kbyom]

Thank you! It has come in handy :) I experimented with SUPER chunky yarn using a jelly jar and it actually worked! The stitches look great but would have been better suited for a blanket rather than the cowl I went for.. hehe

Thank you. I'll finally be able to enjoy this method of playing with string. I'm a total disaster at it otherwise.

Happy to hear it will work for you! :)

Hi, what would you need larger stitches for?

[@kbyom]

Larger stitches are great if you are looking for a "lacey" effect. (or if you're using SUPER thick yarn.)
