Help With 2nd Interweave Color

[entiendo]

I've done this second interweave color many times. I even got to the point where I didn't have to think about it much and could still do it, but I lost it?? Not sure where it went. I've been working on this whiskey interweave for no less than 3 hours and have gone through 3 whiskey strings trying to relearn! How's that for stubborn? I keep thinking.."this time I'm going to get it, it's not that hard, I've done it before." But it's not working. So clue me in, please, what am I doing wrong? It has to be some little thing I've forgot about.

It looks like when you go under and change direction back down/up you are not following the right strand. Something that I find helps is to count from the top or bottom to see how many string lay till the interweave. It should be and equal number on both sides.

You'd think I wouldn't make the same mistake over and over following the wrong string.

I was worried I was loosing my mind so I stayed up half the night trying to figure it out and I finally got the button done. I kept coming back on my standing string the first time around so I just went under past the starting point and I made it work.<br><br>Thanks for your suggestions.<br>
