Just the like the best shot in golf – I want to keep going back again and again and again. Very colourful but becomes more expressive as a larger sized cord is used and the fingers become quite nimble. Must try other materials the resulting textures and structures will be so exciting and pleasing to do.

Playing with yarns fibres and fabric are exciting even if it takes two or three tries at getting compatibility between the different textile mediums. Plaiting become second nature because the pattern is repetitive even if it is hard on the back and concentration. Plenty of ‘get up and walk around’ helped to relieve the tension in the shoulders. Colourful aren’t they – primary of course and also the code colours of our regional rugby team. Fir up the nose leads to ‘ticklish’ behaviour – such as sneezing.

It would seem that these constructions may not be the end in themselves so much as a means to an end. Once learned however the techniques become a resource stored within ones data base for later consummation.
