[Ansteorra-Textiles] question?

[Beth Ellis]

Raisya,
Mistress Charla was doing netting for awhile last year.  I don't know if she kept it up, but you can ask her.

  I took the same class from Brynhildr, and loved it, but just couldn't quite make sense out of how to turn it in to anything. I agree that it wasn't Brynhildr's teaching, I understood the theory, I think I just needed to see more pieces made from it and in progress. (Brynhildr, BTW, is the one that taught me naalbinding at Candlemas, and it took no time at all.) I'd really love it if you did a beginner's class on sprang this KC.

  I'm mostly doing the basic stitch in naalbinding, I need to actually make a few pieces to get some idea how it works before I try the more complicated stitches. So far, I finished a bottle cover from that first start, and a pouch, and I have another pouch about half done. I side-tracked back to knitting for the moment, but I want to naalbind a hat next for my oldest daughter.

  Is there anyone out there who does traditional netting, the kind done with a shuttle, etc.?! I'd like to at least learn the theory...

  I am thinking about doing another beginner/refresher class, maybe King's College. One thing I found when teaching myself sprang, is that frequently I wouldn't understand something, put the sprang away and pick it up again later. Everytime I let the sprang digest or something, I always understood it better the next time. The first time I did sprang, I didn't get it at all. It was a class taught by Mistress Brynhildr at the Fiber Event we did here in Bjornsborg a few years back, and no reflection on her teachin! g skill, I just didn't get it. Next time I picked it up, I did.

  Nalbinding I just don't get, except for the easiest stitch. When I try, I just make a fuzzy catepillar-shaped knot.
