Zarastinia Posted September 20, 2016 I figured I might as well share my work here.  Here's some WIP and final pictures of my last project, a 12x12 pan chang in 2mm yellow cord.  Foundational weave  About 80% done  Final weave partially tightened.  Completed knot.  I'm working on another for my fiance. Both will be parts of belt hangings at some point. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miffymog Posted September 20, 2016 Awesome. Just four days ago my mum taught me to knit. After 4 days I've finished my first scarf, the idea is to have 15 done by Christmas for my relatives. The thing is - I just cant believe how addictive it is. I guess it's something to do with using both hands in a focused way. I even did it today at a train station and while sitting on the floor and guess what, someone threw me some money thinking I was a homeless beggar - result ! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redcairo Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) LOL!! Love the train station! Â The knotting is really cool. I have this "Ashley book of knots" or something like that, and I still don't do knotting which is just crazy -- I always wanted to learn at least a lot of basics but I manage to ignore the book for like 30 years. Can't believe I still have it.. Â I also have an old book on Kumihimo (Japanese braiding... many words for knots, macrame, etc.) that is neat. Some of these very simple versions went 'american fad' used as bracelets -- some of the complicated ones have over 70 or over 140 threads... but they are really cool. They use this round object, like a small table you could sit with, that has an opening in the center the threads go through, and the threads distribute around the outer edge, and then there is a pattern you move them in (a sequence) -- I could see this being done well to some kind of music/beat if it had to be done for long periods. I think I only made one very simple braid but it's almost impossible to do any of it and not have it come out looking very cool. Â The one you did, the big square knot, seems more complicated to me. :-) Came out looking great though! Â RC Edited October 22, 2016 by redcairo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
