#afaik nålbinding wasnt really done flat historically but that will not stop me at all

[milkweedman]

i’m trying to figure out how to get a nice flat nålbound piece in oslo stitch and it’s funny how the problems are like... exactly the same that you have with crochet when working flat.

lose stitches at the sides so it gets narrower...

if you manage to fix that then one side gets a weird scalloped edge...

looks very different from the same stitch worked in the round...

anyway that said, i think i’ve figured out how to keep a flat straight edge that looks nice, but i’m just doing another couple rows to be sure

#nålbinding #afaik nålbinding wasnt really done flat historically but that will not stop me at all #also im using one of the needles i whittled a few days ago and its working super well ! way more comfortable than the one i bought #realizing that i like really flat long needles that are quite narrow #as opposed to 'wedge shape' that i see a lot of. those just hurt my hands #also guess who accidently just felted a join with gatorade instead of water #...this is why i usually just use spit. impossible to use the wrong fluid on accident when it's literally spit #although in this case i wasnt using spit because my mouth tasted like gatorade #i cant win
