MxRemyLittle bit of nålbinding practice. Dunno how common it is, but I prefer to keep my working loops on a knitting needle, use a tapestry needle as a naal, and work with thin cotton yarns. Since you can't wet splice lengths of cotton together, the Russian join works well enough instead. Never got the hang of the whole thumb thing, but my work comes out nice and tight and dense this way. This is (hopefully) Mammen stitch.
