Good morning, I woke up too early again this morning so was browsing on the internet. On Instagram I saw this on a fiber artist's post
So of course this peaked my interest so I did a search for more information. I found a good tutorial on You Tube (don't ya just love You Tube?)
Part 1
and here is a link to more videos that come after this first one. I found this very intriguing. She suggests using wool and shows how to join more yarn-which would be easiest with wool.
Of course I searched for a book
Interesting to me that this craft uses a needle similar to the Amish toothbrush rug needle. I never grasped knitting at all-My Mom did some fabulous knitting but I never got the hang of it-I may need to try this out-I have lots of wool here smiles.
I am so enjoying our cooler weather here in the Missouri Ozarks. So good to Not hear the a/c running. Very cool nights and pleasant days. I will break down and do a good watering today-as no rain here in over a month. The deer are looking for food-I am assuming they are the ones that ate my geranium plant way down, ate my green bean plants down to the soil, and more. I wanted to start some edible greens seeds for healthy veggies soon-will need to cover those for sure.
On the plus side no cutting grass needed at the moment. I really need a good soaking rain so I can get my ornamental grasses transplanted-that's a big job too-but I need rain. This is on my mind to get done before the frost hits-mid October.
Larry is liking the Alaskan fish so far-I made us cod yesterday-so good.
Have a good rest of your week and in the States Happy Labor Day-looks like perfect weather for the boaters here.
I've heard of and seen someone actually doing nalbinding. I would like to learn how to do this. Glad you are still having some cooler weather, but I think we both need the rain god to give us some showers. Hope you get them soon. Enjoy your lovely weather. It's great. Isn't it? hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteGood morning, there are quite a few good you tube videos but I found a book that looks the best so far-- With One Needle - How to Nålbind Paperback – January 1, 2019
Deleteby Mervi Pasanen it is just under $35.00 most places online. Yes I am loving the weather-thinking we are done with the high 90's finally hugs
Kathy this is certainly interesting...never heard of Nailbind but it looks like something to try when the snow is flying. As I am reading through your post...realize that we are both having the same weather pattern...we are so dry. It has certainly been a bad year for gardening. Oh well you and I both know there is hope for next year. It takes a lot to discourage gardeners. They are always ready in the spring to start digging and planting, forgetting the previous year and hoping for a much better one coming. Have a delightful Labor Day Weekend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I am so "slack" atm!!!! It´s been tough, health-wise but I think It goes better.
ReplyDeleteI want to retire to try all the cool stuff you find and share! Wanted to go to "the beach" tomorrow. Rain...? Either way, hope all is good with your lake and the fish, hug to "all" of you!
Nailbinding looks interesting . So can you use the same tool that you've already bought? Do you think the book will be better than just watching the videos? I like to do origami but i've never been able to learn it in a book. I've found a good teacher on YouTube where he goes slow and shows every angle and i can stop rewind and start again.. We have not had the big cool down here... We are expecting a little cool down Sun/Mon with rain into the 80's but then right back up again.. Today we will be 100F... '
ReplyDeleteHubby changed the battery in his desk top computer.... It wasn't keeping the correct time.. and now it won't work right... UUuuggh ... so now he is off this morning trying to get it fixed... or may end up with a new one... uuuughhh...
I hope some of your perrenials survive... I would love to have plants and flowers but where i live and the cost of water i keep it to a minimum... and use drought tolerant plants when i do plant something... I always envy those lush English Gardens...lol where they never seem to have to water.. Its hard when your area is used to more rain then you get a drought year... I hope your plants survive! :) fingers crossed.. I too will be glad to not have to hear the airconditioner for a while... gets on my nerves.. Take care kathy! I've had kids for two days so i need to get caught up around here.. :) Hugs! deb
