Members KnotHead Posted March 24, 2014 Members Report Posted March 24, 2014 Well let's see if you can make this ginfer knot from these pdf files. If you can make this one you should be able to stitch around the one in the pdf file. Attached: Illustration pdf GinferKnot9x8.pdf Written Instructions. GinferKnot9x8Instructions.pdf Brian...

Members LTC Posted March 24, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) i tied the 9P x 8B ginfer knot this weekend and it is not the same as the base knot in the pic in the tutorial you posted or in the pic i posted originally. it's much less wide than that one. i want it to be exactly the same as those because the proportions look better that way. thanks Well let's see if you can make this ginfer knot from these pdf files.

Members LTC Posted March 24, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 24, 2014 That was supposed to say "proportions". stupid auto correct. Quote
Members KnotHead Posted March 24, 2014 Members Report Posted March 24, 2014 Well at any rate I think I'm about secluded with this topic. So attached is a grid representation of that knot. It might not be exact because I can not get an accurate count of the parts or bights from the damn photos. Good luck... 11parts by 21bights - Ginfer Now I go back to get some of my own braiding done.

Members LTC Posted March 24, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 24, 2014 ok well i didn't mean to make you mad. sorry you're put out with this. i appreciate the pic and your efforts in making it. you obviously understand these a lot better. i don't think i will understand those diagrams in all the rest of my living days. but i hold out hope that i will some day.

Members megabit Posted March 25, 2014 Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 I think Bud Brewer had a tutorial of the ginfer on your old site Brian. His instructions were always the best. LTC, I don't know if it is the same as the one in your fist pic or not. (I can't really see the pattern on the base knot all that well.) But the instructions Brian posted are the for the same knot as in his earlier post of rings of Saturn. What you use as a base will change the shape of a knot a great deal. Try using a Spanish Ring knot as a base for the Ginfer, that should give it more the shape of your first pic. Quote
Members LTC Posted March 25, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) if i use a spanish ring knot as a base, won't the raised part i weave onto it be the same width as the Spanish ring knot? i did see references to tutorials for this on khww but none of the links work anymore. i did find it in grant's books, but those drawings are so bad i cannot follow them. going to try it again tomorrow though.
