Hi Slipjig

Thanks for the accreditation - is that the same ditty bag you showed us when we met?   If so, the pictures don't do it justice. it really seems a lifetime ago, doesn't it.

Looking forward to your visit when you get to the UK.

I hope that our members in Queensland stay safe, we met some of them during our Big Trip.

Jeff

'Tis the very one, yeay e'en unto the button loops being still unfinished.  ;)

I take that as high praise from you!

AFAIK all QLD-ers are OK. One's town was flooded and another had to evacuate but neither's properties were damaged.

Looking forward to very much to visiting you and Lesley, and hopefully also catching up with David & Penny and Colin & Jane at some stage. Your visit does seem ages ago, as we prepare for the next AWBF.

How did you do the handle so that it looks like the red and black are slightly raised from the white? Or is that some kind of opi-titi-cal ill-looo-shun?

Hiya Rrok!

It is a bit of an opi-titi-cal ill-looo-shun - have a look at Andre's tutorial here:

http://home.tiscali.nl/knotsandknottying/spiraal.html

You can also use two outer stands that are already in the bundle instead of the separate blue cord here, if you don't want to introduce a separate strand/another colour.

You can make it flat and straight, spiral in either direction, or do all three within one piece of work, depending on how you fold the tails on the blue part over.

This Prolong Mat was made using , THE ULTIMATE BOOK OF DECORATIVE KNOTS , by Linsey Philpott , page 58 and 1/4 inch rope with 5 passes . Making it 15 inches long and 8 inches wide. The Birch Wood cup was turned on the wood lathe.

Nothing like the combo of knotting and woodwork.

Hello CSchffr,

Thanks for posting and welcome to the forum.  An interesting shape for a Granny knot or a Buntline Knot with a loop!  How long ago was this done - it looks great having been made with left-laid rope, BTW.

Nice, aknotter!  That picture of mine was about 2 hours after is was done.  That was only a week ago.

Here's some goodies I've been working on.  I've been learning most from Stormdrane and JD.  JD's new book has me experimenting and expanding on what I know.  I'm struggling with long turks head knots, but I keep trying.

A 3 pass PK(Heel) knot key fob. The braid is a 4 strand round braid pressed out flat. All Kangaroo.  The knots core is a wood bead.
