I want to become proficient at doing longer fingerloop braids. This means I must occasionally practice them, right?
This is done using the same method as last time -- make a crochet-chain loop and braid out one end, then undo the loop and braid out the other end. But this time I did V-fell one way and A-fell the other, so they weren't mirror images.
It worked. There's still a blip since I didn't get the correct loops on the correct fingers to make it seamless. But on the whole, it looks good. Some of that is no doubt due to the fuzziness of the yarn hiding the imperfections. Eh, it's no worse than when I drop all the loops and have to put them back on my fingers and don't do it correctly.
Also, I didn't try to keep any kind of consistent tension. But I don't think the two halves of the braid are significantly different from each other.
As before, I'm noodling around with ideas from this page: https://loopbraider.com/31431-2-basic-seamless-center-starts/
I've started another Double X Double O band with a slightly different threading and turning sequence. It's not that different from the first one. Hopefully it'll be done by tomorrow. I'm on the 12-18", I think. After that, maybe I'll do some more cords. Or maybe not. I used the Gotland experiment warp for one of the colors in this band. I don't know why I didn't simply do a brick-patterned band with that warp.
