Many Norwegians are confused as to why they decided to put a β€œ?after β€œBergen”. I still don’t know, but a working theory is that it will strike up a conversation. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈTbh, to myself and many others, the β€œ?” is just annoying. Karl’s animated face always makes things a bit more fun though. πŸ€ͺ

Nalbinding with multiple threads can be tricky at first but it allows you to burn though thin yarn and experiment with the effects πŸ€“β™₯️ It makes a nice, squishy fabric too! 😍

Join the addiction! 😈 You have every reason to try it too because you have stash yarn and can get away with using a darning needle. πŸ‘. I’d suggest a thick, wool yarn that you don’t like to start. You can do it! 😍

Yes. You CAN nalbind on a plane. But then again, I also bring blunt needles… πŸ˜… 🧢 πŸͺ‘

There aren’t too many finds; but, based on 1 that still had hair and the hairstyles depicted in carvings, this one is pretty good: images.app.goo.gl/8nbRy8Kba1v6...

I nalbound a hat to go with the wristwarmers. The ombré effect is achieved by using 3 thinner yarns and slowly shifting out one of threads at a time. 🧢

I found a GrΓ₯ Nisse sweater at a thrift store about 15 years ago but it was too small for my girls. I finally got around to reclaiming the wool from it. The sweater was worked with triple yarn which I split and nalbound this cowl:

It looks like a nice blanket but essentially you have a great piece of fabric there and can make quite a few things from it 😍

I finished this WIP from 2022. They are nalbound with 3 strands of wool. Every second row, one strand is swapped out with the next color to create the ombrΓ© effect. 🧢 πŸͺ‘
