The nalbinding style you show is very similar to the one I ran into in Sorunda, Sweden when I went back to visit and we compared styles. It is similar to the Coppergate sock (Though and extra interconnection) and a much more modern pair of socks that I think are from Norway. That pattern family has been rather rare in the record.
So naming it Swedish stitch would make sense then, or possibly Norwegian. 'cause it's a bit unfair Finnish, Danish and Russian have been represented so far ;)
iirc, it does start as one does the Finnish stitch, only not the same needle entry for the loops from the lower row, nor that one twists the needle around before going into the thumbloops and start over all.
Hm, you speak of a pattern family, not just stitch though. A pattern family of socks, in similar stitch? Scarce findings in modern time, and/or less popularity back in the day due to look and stitch capabilities?
And doh, wasn't it you I promised to translate the Swedish text from 12 Nålbindningsvarianter into English? ..ahem, some years ago now..
in our house, we try to recycle as much as we can. in fact, we put out more recycling than trash. and if we had a compost bin, the trash would be even less.
yarn is fun!!! knit, crochee, weaving, all the things i miss. i know i have some somewhere...
I listened to a radio docu thing, where they claimed the average Swede throws away 8 kilos of clothing per year, and in addition to that that 3 kilos are recycled. Just insane! But you are good recyclers of clothing as well? :)
i try very hard to make sure that i mend my clothes when they get holes and rips. if i can't fit into them, they are sent to the charity shops. we also have clothes and shoes bins for recycling. there are also places where you can send in old t-shirts and have them sewn into quilts. the only thing i know that cannot be resold here are used mattresses, due to health issues. but they just opened a recycling center for those here.
not all people are good about reusing/recycling/donating. that's why there are people who "dumpster dive" (take things out of the trash). i've done it a few times. mostly furnature that i fixed up and still have...
