I know it sucks to ask for help and not receive an answer. For that I do apologize. I'm glad ya got it figured out tho and as ya found out sometimes it's best to put the book down and just really look at the knot and see how it progress. Next time ya also might post this in the braiding section. I'm not sure about others but I generally check that section a couple of times a day and will only go thru the rest of the forum if time permits. Good Luck and happy braiding!!

Bevan Report post Posted January 10, 2010 Thats ok Mike , like i said allz well that endz well, I have been intouch with the people that done the book and they are going to fix it so others dont have the same prob and the braiding section will be my choice to post from now on. Cheers for mate Bevan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
entiendo Report post Posted January 12, 2010 Yeah Gail's books do have a few hick-ups in them. I was just teaching someone to braid not long ago and we had to go over all the knots so I could find those hick-ups for her. LOL I know all about staying up all night trying to figure things out too. Just about 2 weeks ago I couldn't put my second interweave color on a 6 bight herringbone interweave! The worst part is I'd done it many times before but forgot. It's the nature of the beast I suppose. Gotta love it though. Oh, and I was having trouble with an 8 bight gaucho interweave some time ago too. The button itself had a few turns as it was a handle, but I could never figure out how I kept ending up unsplit parallels in the end. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bevan Report post Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Hi there Entiendo i have been in touch with Gail and she is going to fix a page in her bosal 2 book , was just a matter of missing picture and a pass of o1, u1, easely done !! and i suppose she does not have to read the book to do the knot so didnt pick it up , Once we know about splitting parallels and what it should look like it makes it so much easier !!
