Using Up The Pieces

[Tracym]

Ohh on top of the standing end. Got it now - thanks to both.

Leatherpownder, is that a type 1 4-pass pineapple knot or type 3? Can you recommend a tutorial for that one, please?

[Leatherpownder]

It is four passes but I don't know a tutorial for it sorry. Did you figure out three passes or is it still giving you fits?

[TXAG]

I think I have the three pass one down now. The over/under list in the link in my first post in that thread was complete trash. I watched the YouTube video posted in the thread and was able to do it and transcribed the correct O/U in my notebook. I'd love to move on to the four-pass like this one...

Also, just tied the Horn knot for the first time just now.

OK, well if anyone else can point me to a good tutorial (or at least the over/under pattern) for this knot, I'd really appreciate it.

Is this the same knot?

If so, how do you get two lines of each color instead of every color alternating, one per row?

(Course...these were done by the same guy that did the one I tried to use for two weeks that never worked...so who knows...)

I'm starting to get these pineapples - I found for me, looking at the photos/video, and 'seeing' the pattern I was following rather than actually the o# u# worked better. The sequences were helpful if a question, but I found visualizing it, and deciding what strings I was following, splitting, etc was easier and more reliable.

[TXAG]

Yeah, I still need the O/U so if anyone can confirm the links on the last post of the first page are for the same knot, I would appreciate it.

Also need to know how to get two colors together, alternating...the links to the tutorial I found alternate colors every string instead of every two strings.

[Tracym]

I'm probably not helping, as it's not the O and U. But to keep the two colors together, it looks to me like you would basically just "follow" the string of the same color, if that makes any sense. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think that will work as it wouldn't follow the same pattern...hard to explain, but doing it that way would basically make another run parallel to the first one, but not following the same pattern. That probably doesn't make any sense...I'd need to do it both ways on a mandrel and show you the difference to explain it better.

[Tracym]

I know what you mean, it's not just doubling the string, but following it around duplicating the pattern. But maybe I'm wrong, I'll have to give it a try when I have time.
