8 Bight 9 Part Pineapple- Need Help

[skyout]

Glad it helped.

I really like pineapples and some of the variations you can get with them.

Here's a few variations Barry Brown made.

...how i can expand with some interwaves in differend collors ( i mean 1 or 2 srands only in the middle)

thanks

Here's one way I came up with to expand the colors in a PK. This was with a 7x6 base TH, but it will work with a 9x8 as well.

A co-worker asked for a 4 color key fob. He wanted mostly navy and light blue colors, but he wanted a little red and a little white thrown in (the colors are for the Tennessee Titans).

This is what I came up with. Navy blue is a 7part x 6bright TH and the light blue 5part x 6bright is the interweave. Then I put in two variations, both with 3 brights, one with white and one with red. A 4 strand braid with a 3/4" wooden core. Line is about 1/16" nylon.

For members wanting to learn the 2 pass, CitizenKate was kind enough to include on Leatherworker a tutorial I made for the 16 part x 16 bright 2 pass, Type 1 Pineapple Knot. This one is from a base 9px8b Turks Head with a 7px8b Turk's Head interweave, which gives 3 zigzags in the finished knot.

I love all the buttons! You know there has been times when I played with a pineapple button too, but I can't leave all the parallels! I found myself going back and splitting them. For the same reason I rarely make a long gaucho or one with an extra pass. Silly I know, but it's stuck in my head to split those parallels.

Thanks entiendo,

The ones Barry did were from ones he'd seen on horse gear: http://www.hought.com/tbcols1b.html

His web page has a tutorial for this beautiful knot:

This next one is a 16p X 16b 2 pass, Type 1 using the base 9p X 8b Turks Head with a little variation thrown in.

You can click the link to the tutorial I made for the 16p X 16b 2 pass, Type 1 PK in my prior post:

I first saw this PK variation at the Tandy store here in Orlando. It was tied in leather and was on the end of a rubber hammer/maul. So I gave it a shot, skipped one of the "overs" in the center interweave to get the slashes (\\\\\) instead of the \/s (\/\/\/\/\/).

Small VB cord over a 3/4" wooden core with a 4 strand sq sennit loop and a Matthew Walker at the end. The brown was a little smaller than the white so I doubled the brown and left the white single. Being different sizes really messes the sennit for the loop up, too.

AND this was my first MW knot in small stuff!
