Thanks, Tyler! I'm going to try adding strands this time so we will see just how crooked the overlay will be!

Ah, plaiting backwards are we? Are you doing an English eye, or did you just want to try plaiting backwards? If you get stuck, let me know :)

Rachel, trying something new is the best way to learn and advance your outstanding ability.

Yeah, English eye?

Rachel, I would wish you good luck with it but I know there's no actual need for that.
You will conquer it with style.

Rahel, "rewind" ?
Do you all ready have the core strand inside the plaiting?
I am wanting to do this on the next whip and I will be paying great attention
to your process and progress. :)
Thanks for the update!

Thanks, Efren!

Thank you, Tyler! I think it will maybe do best with a loaded fall, but I'm looking forward to having a whip with a quick change feature so I can try it out to see! And tapered dyneema crackers. I also want to try an English eye going into a twist then into plait.

Ron "rewind" I mean as a bit of a joke, going backwards back up the thong!
No core strands in there yet. Fixing to start that, though. There are six strands- three doubled. One is the sheath that's folded to the inside, then two twisted together and threaded into the sheath- when it's folded down to make the loop I started plaiting around the sheath, a four plait will just fit if done very tightly and not gapping. I will bring out one of those inner strands for a five plait and replace with a single core strand of the end of my belly on my whip, then bring out the other sheath strand, into six plait, add a strand when I get close to the TT of two strands and plait for several inches, bring out, add another, etc.

That is the plan, anyway!

Rachel, I am trying to wrap my brain around your description and right now it's not making sense to me.

But I have been fighting the medical bills and such and my brain is pretty fried.
I'm sure that it will make sense at a later reading.

Part of it was a bill I received from a pathology lab and I can't pay the whole bill.
I sent them a $10 check so that they would know that I am not ignoring them and that they would be paid eventually.

They sent the check back basically saying that it was not a sufficient partial payment and to send $86 and something change.
I just don't get it.

Any way thank you for your explanation. :)

Ron, I know that feeling well- Sometimes it's best to call them- our hospital up here has assigned us account agents in the past to go over financing options for medical bills.

Tyler, they say that you can't get blood out of a turnip, but you can sure crush one in the process of trying.

Wasn't there some law passed that was going to magically turn hospital bills into butterflies and unicorns...? :P

Ron no worries I'll still be hanging around :)
You just take good care and if I get this figured out just ask me when you get ready and I will do what I can to help make it clear(er).

I don't think they can legally send a medical bill to collections if you are sending them $10 per month. Call and ask them what's the lowest they'll accept, then tell them what you can afford. They'll usually meet you halfway, or at $25 per month. I have no insurance so... Yep ;)
That stinks!
