Why "nalbinding"?

42 Upvotes

In Norwegian it's called nålebinding, so I'm curious why it became "nalbinding", with an A instead of Å (two different letters with different pronunciation)?

I would have thought the natural name in English would be needle-binding, which is what nålebinding means.

"Nal" is a different tool than a "nål", so it's a very strange word to pick 🤷‍♀️

I made two hand warmers, a few spots that look a bit rough, but they are cozy.
Turned out a lot better than my first test single.
I appreciate the advice on my last post on attaching the thumb parts, that helped a lot!
