Du sidder med en bog der har fået titlen: Pas dig selv, fordi den giver dig muligheder for at konstruere en trøje, der passer dig og netop dig. For at kunne konstruere i strik kræver det en grundviden indenfor mange emner. Det er emner som: Strikkefasthed, garnberegning, måltagning, kanter, kropstype, halsudskæringer, ærmer og fashioneringer. Det er dem jeg beskriver først i bogen. Andre udfordringer, der er vigtige at starte med er: Hvilket garn vil jeg strikke med? Hvilken type trøje skal det være? Hvordan skal mine ærmer være? Skal trøjen have mønster og evt. hvilket, og hvor skal det sidde på trøjen? Hvilke farver skal trøjen have? Skal der være lommer, knapper eller andet på trøjen? Ja det er mange spørgsmål, men det er vigtigt at få det hele tænkt med, inden du laver din konstruktion. Ellers kan du stå og mangle masker, fx fordi dit mønster er deleligt med 8, og det er dit maskeantal på trøjen ikke, eller du ikke har tænkt på, at når du strikker en cardigan, så skal der være masker på forstykket til knapkanten. Men den tilfredshed du får ved at nå frem til en grundopskrift, der netop passer til dig, er stor. Jeg har beskrevet 8 metoder til konstruktion af din egen trøje efter de 4 faconer: Raglanfacon, kuppelærme, lige tilsatte ærmer og rundt bærestykke, både strikket nedefra og op eller topdown. Desuden har jeg lavet 8 grundmodeller, alle med navne som synonym for et ”dig”, som du kan bruge til din egen konstruktion, eller vælge at strikke dem, det er op til dig. Så er det om bare at komme i gang. Find dit lækre garn, vælg din grundform, og så frem med lommeregneren, for den er vigtig. God fornøjelse med bogen.

Arkæologien og etnologien har været med mig de seneste år. Derfor er min påstand at Nålebindingsteknikken er lige så gammel som vævning, der kunne udvikles fra det tidspunkt hvor mennesker blev fastboende som agedyrkere og kvægavlere. De første fåreracer behøvedes ikke at blive klippet, da de selv fældede ulden, som vi kender det fra moskusokser på Grønland. I dag kender vi bl.a. til Soay-fåret fra de Ydre Hebrider og Mongoliet.At Nålebinding må være brugt af mennesker gennem mere end 100.000 år kan nu ikke være en umulig tanke, dersom der stadig bliver fremstillet bæreposer, fiskenet og andet i fx plante-materiale. Teknikken er blevet og bliver brugt jorden rundt, efterhånden som mennesker har befolket de enkelte kontinenter. Specialiseringen er dog først og fremmed nødvendiggjort af klimaet i Norden, i Skandinavien og de Baltiske områder, samt den vestlige del af Rusland. For at forgængeligt materiale som uld, pileflet og træting skal kunne overleve i flere tusind år, må der være optimale forhold, der gør, at disse ting ikke nedbrydes.The Archaeology and Ethnology has been with me for the last couple of years. My allegation is therefore: The technique of Nålebinding is just as old as weaving, which could be developed from the time where human beings became permanent settlers taking care of agriculture and livestock. The oldest race of sheep is the Soay from Outer Hebrides Islands in the Atlantic Sea west of Scotland and another race still living in Mongolia. These old races throw their wool just like the Muskox in Greenland.Nålebinding must have been used by man for more than 100.000 years, as they had the need to carry and keep various things - and furthermore you can find the technique still in use all over the world. Often it is various kinds of grasses and lianas. The special use here in the Northern Europe was necessary due to the cold climate.Unfortunately items made out of perishable materials cannot last for long as metals. This is why only a few things have survived. Archaeologists know that only 5% of all kinds of utensils have survived since the Iron Age. But still finds can provide knowledge of what kind of live humans have had for several millenniums.
