It always fascinated me what people could come up with just using a line & a loop. Stopped doing it after my Aunt died, but after laying flowers out at my wife's grave, and seeing wreaths on the other monuments, I tried it again. Very surprised my hands remembered how. Here's the wreath I wove yesterday, and the hitch to shorten in around Lori's flower base. VHS2, Painsponge, Wrecksauce and 12 others 13 2 Awards

Finally remembered the technique, and got those right. The crowns were easy, I was making it too hard, and it came back in a rush how to lay them over & cinch them tight....d'oh! If you can find a copy, this book makes for great reading, or go to gutenberg.org & look up Hyatt Verrill. The old sailors really knew their craft. RobMc 1 Awards
