This is a quick video I worked up after one of our weekly Nalbinding Get Togethers showing the Oslo stitch worked in several different methods and the effects that has on the resultant gauge. This is not wholly comprehensive of the various ways to work Oslo and does not include connection stitches. Some other methods not shown are tensioning off your thumb nail or other gauge tool, changing the size of the yarn you are using, using a doubled or tripled yarn, or using an entirely different stitch to get the gauge and density of fabric you want from a particular yarn.
The video starts with how to start nalbinding the Oslo stitch using the first method I demonstrate; multiple thumb loops.
At 3:16 I start the second method: Thumb tensioning dropping the previous thumb loop.
At 3:46 I show dropping the cross for speed. This is my personal favorite when thumb tensioning.
At 4:44 I briefly touch on tensioning by eye.
At 4:50 I explain how to read Hansen's classification of Oslo: UO/UOO.
At 5:14 I discuss needle tensioning.
At 5:55 I mention the importance of rotating your needle to counter the spiraling effect of the stitch on your yarn.
