Thanks Ceecy, like I need another hobby!
This is called nalbinding. It's kind of like a series of knots and with hand-dyed yarn, it looks pretty cool to me. The look of it reminds me of Tunisian crochet. The above piece is destined to be a pair of mittens and the piece below was going to be a pair of pants, but I think I'll stop after this last row and call it a headband/ear warmer (finished it and added pic). Here is the website that I referred to: http://home.arcor.de/bedankbar/index-eng.htm
It's fun to do, but I don't think it will be replacing my knitting obsession any time soon. It's just not as fast.
I want to try it on a scarf next using a different color on each row.
