Thank you!
I took the u1o1 off and made it with double strands. Once my hands are healed i'm going to do the fancy plait.

Very even looking and tight. No gaps. Awesome job.
If I can't run fast, I'll make slow look impressive.

I know it's slow going, but man it looks sharp.

Very well done, Jyri. If I can just say, watch your side seams as when I tried 275 fancy plaiting, the front looked ok but the sides and back were all over the place.

Jyri, I really like how this is turning out. Keep up the good work!
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.

YES JYRI!
Awesome work so far with the fancy plait, I can't wait to see how it'll look! Definitely have to get myself into this too!

Thank you!

The fancy plat is really fighting me. Every time i stop i have to redo everything as i lost track in my plans. Hopefully i get it done soon.

Brandon cant wait to see what you can do with it!

Jyri, make you a copy of your paper pattern. Mark each one off as you do it. Plait and mark. Then, if you need to stop, clamp the side you have just plaited. Mark a dot on the next step. That's where you start next.... Do it the same every time and it will become a habit. You will soon not lose your place.

You are doing great, don't give up!!!

I have the same problem, Jyri. It is so easy to lose your place or cross a strand with the fancy stuff.

Rachel i tryed that once and for some reason it was afully hard to find the right sequence on paper. I was always one line up or down even when i putted numbers on the lines :D
Best for me would be if i could print just the sequence from face plat. Like LEFT u6o4u1o2 etc :D

I habe been once again plaited and unplaited this little bit again and again.. I have changed my plans many times and i truly hope i get to finish this tonight.
