12/2019 I have been fixing broken links, and moving the photos of swatches to the top of each page, and the diagram photos to the bottom (updating continues)
Finnish Stitch 1+2½ (Pyhäjoki Stitch)
In autumn 2010 I interviewed on the phone an older nalbinder (born 1930's), whose grandmother (born in Savo (Finland)) used to split one of the loops behind the thumb with the needle. Unfortunately this nalbinder didn't remember the exact stitch type her grandmother used, so it may have been for example 1+2½, 2+2½, or some else with a split loop. The nalbinder I interviewed, had later learnt another way of nalbinding (Finnish Stitch 2+2, without thumb loops (flat)).
