I agree re the calendar - Google calendar is better. Having bought a “month on 2 pages” insert, I’m starting to use it for habit tracking (if I can develop any good ones! Haha). Longer term the plan is for 1 insert for bullet journal, day per page, with curated longer-term, categorised to-dos etc in the 2nd insert.

Thanks! I don't use mine for calligraphy at all, I just write normally with them, mainly in my journal. Calligraphy pens are usually different than these, with different ink. I think my cheapest one is the Jinhao Shark pen at about $4, followed by the Platinum Preppys at around $5.50. The Chinese pens I showed may be cheaper, but those were gifts, so I don't know what they sell for.

Yeah, I really hope my vision issues pass soon. But we are definitely talking months here. There were several reasons for my move to Oslo. A big one is definitely to be closer to family, since both my parents have serious health issues and are getting older. Another is to have more choices in who I have as friends. And I just wasn't thriving in Flatanger, despite what my videos may have indicated.

That was quite an undertaking, and looks cozy. That said, you mention that use is making the edges a bit wobbly. It is wool. If you ever want to flatten out those edges, again, when you wash it, rather than just laying it out to dry, actually 'block' it. Pin it out with enough tension to stretch it a bit, and pull it straight again. (Or possibly for the first time. Sort of an advanced version of the 'tug on it'. that you do to align your stitches as you make them.)

I could definitely try to block the shlanket, but it is working out very well so far. And it is definitely cozy! I never have to worry about a cold torso ever again haha. The edges started curling even as I was working on it, so it may be an effect of how I turn for each row. I don't mind it though!

Yup, I do. I have since changed to picking both up from the front. It doesn't really matter, as long as you after this stitch continue picking up the loops from the front (front to back). For me, at least, the first stitch always looks a little different/weird, and I have decided not to care 😅

Is that all nalbinding or are there different materials & techniques for the sole portion? How does the book describe them?

Those are lugger/labber - the leg portion is knitted, the sole is nalbound, and I think there is also some felted fabric that is used. You can google "Namdalslabben" for something similar. Designed for outdoor use on really cold, dry snow, but very useful indoors on cold floors.

@HomeWithMyBookshelf

The notch is probably kind of like the groove in my needle - it's to give the yarn somewhere to be while you push the needle through so it doesn't hinder the movement. I personally don't find a groove or notch to be very useful in nalbinding needles, but some people prefer them.

Hello! I have a question as to why we rip after the first part and rejoin to continue the stitch? Wouldn’t it make sense to keep the whole piece as one?
@HomeWithMyBookshelf
@HomeWithMyBookshelf 5 ай бұрын
In nalbinding, each stitch is made by pulling the entirety of the yarn through. It is impractical to pull a whole skein of yarn through each stitch, which is why we work with thread lengths that are spliced as we go. I generally work with longer thread lengths than what I show in this video, but as a beginner it can be helpful to not have to deal with a large amount of thread.

You could try this method of starting instead: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZrhneLqpysfZg4k.htmlsi=FBmA7j1GDOvv2h5- If you find your Oslo stitch being too loose in general, you can either choose a thicker yarn to work with, a denser stitch (like Mammen), or you could tighten the stitch to your needle by stopping the needle halfway through the loop, tightening the previous loop, and then pulling the needle through.
