Very interesting pictures. While dreaming of Viking needlelace, don't forget nalbinding, which is the Viking version of knitting, done with a needle and thread. As presently constituted at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, at least, it replaces knitting, but could conceivably be more lace like, depending on the size of the thread and loops. I am taking a class at the Rhinebeck NY Sheep and Wool in Viking knitting, but it's nalbinding. You end up with a bracelet, a rather open weave.
