    From the historical perspective Viking Knit is probably descended
    from Nalbinding (knitting before needles). In a book on the history
    of knitting there were two ways to do Nalbinding (the book is in my
    guild's library so if any one wants the reference contact me). One
    way created the next row of stitches directly below the loop the
    other way created the stitch on the connecting wire instead of the
    preceding loop. I haven't really played around with it to much but
    there could be a cool pattern which develops.
