Halitech Report post Posted December 25, 2014 Looks good overall. The lacing could use a little tightening up and the corners need some work. Check out Chief's videos on youtube for mexican round braid, they really helped me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rundogdave Report post Posted December 25, 2014 Halitech, Thanks for the info. I see where I went wrong, now. I'll do better next time. Maybe mom will let me re-braid it for her. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think you did anything wrong with it, everyone has their own way of doing things. I was simply giving you a suggestion to help you improve And if mom likes it, she's the one that matters in this case Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rundogdave Report post Posted December 26, 2014 No worries. I realized the corners didn't look right when I was doing them. Mom seemed to like it, and wouldn't hear of me re-lacing it. Moms are the best!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halitech Report post Posted December 26, 2014 if she liked it the way you did it then that is what matters the most And it's all part of learning and improving Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonicaJacobson Report post Posted December 27, 2014 Nice, I tried to make a kindle cover a year or so back, and it turned out to be a lot more complicated than I thought it would be. It didn't turn out nearly as well as I hoped. Yours is much better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rundogdave Report post Posted December 27, 2014 Thanks, MonicaJacobson. I definitely made the process more complicated than it needed to be!! I know more now than when I started, and I'll do things differently next time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
