Members TXAG Posted January 17, 2014 Members Report Posted January 17, 2014 Still don't know how to get the other passes "centered", but oh well. Guess I'll never know. Quote
Members BIS Leads Posted January 18, 2014 Members Report Posted January 18, 2014 I like it! I'm still working on much smaller knots with just one color! Quote
Members TXAG Posted January 20, 2014 Author Members Report Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks...you will get better...It took many, many hours of practice and frustration, coupled with setting it all aside occasionally to get to this point...keep at it and you'll be tying better than me before you know it...

Members Leatherpownder Posted January 21, 2014 Members Report Posted January 21, 2014 Gettin' fancy now Texan. Looks good. Quote
King's X Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 You can try one of two things. Do as I have done and take it apart OR gently massage it back to center especially as you tighten it. Quote Greetings from Central Texas! The Grain Side Up blog #TheGrainSideUp
Members TXAG Posted January 21, 2014 Author Members Report Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks, Bret and Buck...that means a lot coming from y'all... King's X...I probably didn't explain what I'm trying to do very effectively...here is the knot I'm trying to make: http://leatherworker.net/forum/uploads/gallery/album_1990/med_gallery_29082_1990_61216.jpg I've tried doing the first and second pass one color and the third and fourth another color and cannot get it to look like that. I guess I probably never will...not smart enough. Thanks again for the encouragement everyone... Quote
King's X Posted January 22, 2014 Report Posted January 22, 2014 With time and practice you will get it. As you tighten them down it will straighten out. Quote Greetings from Central Texas! The Grain Side Up blog #TheGrainSideUp
Members TXAG Posted January 22, 2014 Author Members Report Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) I appreciate the sentiment, but it isn't something that is going to straighten out. I'll post a pic in a minute since I cannot explain what I mean correctly...it'll make sense then.... Edited January 22, 2014 by TXAG Quote
Members TXAG Posted January 22, 2014 Author Members Report Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Ok, so here's the pic...first two passes are brown...passes 3 and 4, white... See how at the top there is just one brown lead? And at the bottom there are two (or three?) brown leads? I want it instead to have two brown on top and two brown on bottom. Does that make more sense? I guess I do not communicate well without pictures... If I counted right, this final knot has 13 parts, right? I guess that's why it will never be able to have the same number of one color on top and bottom...is that right? Edited January 22, 2014 by TXAG Quote
