Project 15/29 – naalbinding sock DONE!
Woo hoo! It’s DONE. Naalbinding is a knitting-like technique using knots instead of loops. The sock is supposed to be low to fit inside a short Jorvik boot. Depending on how it looks when the pair is complete, I may

I made some bonus projects tonight, to make up for the lameness of working on the naalbinding for several days running. Cordials! Or at least proto-cordials. Ginger in white rum, white brandy, and vanilla/plain vodka. Nummy. :)
