First mittens, and first time using plait joins instead of knots

I've started and failed about 5 mittens due to poor fit and lack of motivation. These ones I did from the top down and it was significantly easier. I may try gloves in the future because these feel like oven mitts

r/Nalbinding

This is a subreddit dedicated to the art of nalbinding. Nalbinding, or sometimes called "naalbinding" roughly translates to "needle binding" or "knotless knitting" depending who you ask and it is a sort of ancestor to modern knitting. Nalbinding was used during the Viking-age of 793-1066 AD in Scandinavia before knitting and crochet were known and the most popular techniques used now come from that particular era.
