During the summer, I finally decided to take time to learn how to nålbind socks and mittens. Nålbinding is an old craft - older than knitting or crocheting and it has been used for thousands of years in Europe and even as far away as Egypt. After knitting came popular it almost vanished but survived in remote areas. One of those areas has been Eastern Finland where my grandmother used to make nålbound mittens for my father when he was a child. He still remembers those mittens as very warm, durable, and windproof. None of my living relatives know this skill, though, and so it was in danger to be forgotten in my family. However, I still remember my grandmother trying to teach me the skill when I was a child. I found the method confusing and only remember how my grandmother dealt with the long stretches of yarn by crocheting the yarn into a big chain. Now it was up to me to teach myself the rest with the help of books and the internet.
