No name for this one yet.
6' Burgundy and Lilac. The thong is almost all double stranded plaiting except for the last 10" where I went back to single strands for the tail. Its carrying a lot of weight down the thong so am hoping for a slow steady roll out. Still needs fall and knots of course. Probably the quickest build I've ever done. Started the core on Friday afternoon.

I'm with Robby - the plaiting looks good, but I'm not a huge fan of the coloring. My first thought was that it should be a Valentine's Day gift, based solely on the coloring. I like the Burgundy, but the lilac is too light and "pastel-ly" for my personal taste. With that said, I'm interested to see how the lilac turns out after the waxing. If it darkens considerably, I may just end up liking it. As Robby mentioned, though, it's not for me so my opinion doesn't count!
I'll give it a try, Dad, but it's going to be really hard...kind of like trying to saw something in half using a banana.

Out of interest, what are the colours you like to see in a whip?
Hm. That's not easy to answer. To be honest - I totally suck at combinating colors. I only know if I like something when I see it. But in general I am with deep, but rich colors. Deep blue, deep burgundy, deep brown, black... Like I said - I'm not good at colors. But it's an interesting question, because I rarely think about that matter
But - again - on your pattern; it looks really good. With "good" I mean that it just looks all natural. Like a print. Square on square. It looks effortless. That makes it look even greater.

Thank you Robby. Most of my whips have been darker colours and it was Lauren who complained that I never did anything lighter/brighter. That's why I made Capuccino and this one, to try out some different colour combinations. I want to sell and these whips - Chain Maille, Cappuccino and this one - are designed to show off what I can do with different colours. They'll all be for sale when I finish the website.

Website is all but complete, just waiting on a load of whip pictures from my friendly photographer (who is really dragging her heels with the pics ). I want a whole load of pics of as many of my good-but-not-sellable whips to show off my plaiting skills.
And thank you, Robby for all your encouragement.
