Needle Binding

I've started to do some needle binding (nålbindning). I like it and I actually get the time for it now that I have a period with alot of travelling, perfect for long bus or train rides ^^ And! It won't unravel (is that the word?) as with knitting or chrocheting.

First ones I made are on the top 3 pictures, they turned out pretty good but I made some mistakes. And they fit very good when they're on but they are a bit too tight on the ancle to get the heel in ^^ But they're still my favourite because the yarn is sooo comfy. Also I had them on on a long bike ride in my shoes while the socks we're totally wet, so I think they started to felt a bit and that made them fit my feet even better.
Started them on the top (uuh do I call it shaft? Didnt start with the toes).

Second ones are ok but the yarn was kinda stiff and not so fun. Like the green though. Tried to start at the toes with those.

Third ones I like alot, love the yarns I used! And I think it's the best fit so far. Although they don't stay on as well as the first pair, but they're easier to get on and off. Started with these not-at-the-toes and I think I like it better that way, because then I can easier shape the toe-part like I want them. The backside of starting that way is that if you run out of yarn the toes won't be covered xD

And then the last picture are of some pretty simple fingerless gloves. Really like that yarn also. But they are a liiiittle bit big, maybe I will try and felt them a bit to make them smaller. Or start using them and see if they get a bit felted by them selves.

Anyways, I like needle binding, only tried the basics so far, but I will probably make more! Sorry for all this text, thanks for reading ^^
