Nailbinding

   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.



update: after more browsing on You Tube-I ran into a video that reviews books on nailbinding. One I really liked is around $35.00 on most sites, and the book I shared here which is most common to find-is not good for teaching you the craft-more of a history book-so I cancelled my order of that book.
