  1. Wow, that Loch Ness Monster (AKA plesiosaur?) is amazing! I could probably manage it in crochet, but not yet in nalbinding. (I'm a lot quicker at crochet, but that's probably from doing it since the age of 9 vs 29 for nalbinding) I've only really used Oslo, Norway and Finnish 2+2 stitches; can you recommend some more good ones? My email is elvenswordmaiden at hotmail dot com. Thanks!

    1. Thank you! I did the Nessy from a crochet pattern - so you're spot on there!

      Hmm. Well those are the two stitches I use most. But Sanna-Mari has an amazing stitch directory. http://www.en.neulakintaat.fi/ Some of the most popular ones are Mammen (under Finnish Family), Danish (under Other), Coptic (under Other) and Åsle (under other). But the Telemark (under Russian family) is lovely too. Hope that's of help!
