Knitting with Nalbound Edge - Take 1

The other day I tinkered with nalbinding the edge of my knitting. I'm not particularly happy with the results.

When binding off my knitting with nalbinding, I got twisted stitches.  When I went over the cast on edge, I got ridges.  I have ideas about how to deal with these problems: for the twisted stitches - I could turn the stitch or go in the other direction, for the ridges - just pick up the cast on edge differently and check after a few stitches.  I had also hoped the work wouldn't curl, but it does.  So my experiment, needs more work.

Experiments: Nalbinding as an Edge on Crochet

During thoughts on planning for fall classes, I had one of those ideas that wouldn't let me go until I tried it. One of the classes I'm thinking about submitting is on pretty nalbound edgings and it occurred to me that nalbinding would make a lovely solid edge on other crafts.

So a sample whipped itself up while dinner was in the oven. I eyeballed the number of stitches of nalbinding I'd need per double crochet stitch - 2 nalbinding stitches to 1 crochet stitch. So far I'm really liking the effect.

Crossing my fingers for more time to experiment tomorrow, for edging knitting with nalbinding.

Have you ever edged another yarn craft with nalbinding?
