"The Art of Braiding,
Turk's Head II "
All the Turk's heads and interweave
patterns in this book are new to me, therefore, I have not instructed
them in any of my other books. As I was deciding on these, I
explored many possibilities. Of those possibilities, I
only chose buttons and knots I felt I would want to braid again.
These were the ones I found fascinating, attractive and
fun to braid. Others I explored did not fit this criteria
so were eliminated. The buttons and knots included range
from easy to braid to more complicated and challenging, but all
are interesting and enjoyable to work.
There are a few new interweaves
on the very versatile 5 part, 4 bight / 7 part, 6 bight series
of Turk's heads. I have always considered these series of Turk's
heads the most important to learn. You may find more reasons
to learn it. |
