I am looking forward to nalbinding in public this coming September 1st on the tenth anniversary of Worldwide Nalbind in Public day. Exciting plans are beginning to form. Find your string and get your needle ready.
The International Nalbinding Day or Worldwide Nalbind in Public Day was started in 2016. I missed the first few years, but here’s a review of what I’ve been up to for the last few.
In 2024, I had the pleasure of nalbinding in two venues: online on Zoom in our weekly Nalbinding Get Togethers with friends on three continents and later at a wedding in a beautiful venue. Facebook has also kind enough to remind me of where I was nalbinding on previous Nalbind in Public days.
Prior years:
In 2023, I went to the Susquehanna museum and Lockhouse.
Three years ago, I was examining the nalbound mitten from Iceland
Four years ago, Hurricane Ida put laid to my plans, so I shot a few videos for the public instead: Nalbinding: Simple Mammen/Korgen Start
Five years ago, I worked on a modern pair of socks inspired by my examinations of Roman Era Egyptian ones.
Six years ago, I was nalbinding on a train to Paris as we made our way home after examining the Mammen Pennants, the Egyptian sock in the National Museum of Denmark and three pairs of Egyptian nalbound socks in the Musée Dobrée in Nantes, France.
It’s been an adventure. Where will you be?
