TUTORIAL:

This is wonderful Perri!! And while on first inspection, it looks like a fiber technique you may know - me included - the techniques in this tutorial produces a much better end result - and I can budget less for band-aides too.

And a little off topic - sort of - please check out my latest post on Karma Wiredhttp://karmaWired.blogspot.com or the BLOGFEED in my profile...

Thanks, Eni! They really are quite understated. They took the place of 'plain hoops' in my jewelry wardrobe.

WOW Perri this tut is fantastic, my fingers are acheing...i've made three pairs of earing already (i bought the tut yesterday)and i can't stop right now that i've found the weave rhythm....Thank you for this tut!!!!

Kim, you are most welcome! I really love these as hoops. Want to jazz them up even more? After you get them tied, take an awl or sharp darning needle in a pin vise and slightly widen every other 'stitch' on one side - then use a very fine gauge -26g or 28g and weave beads or small stones to the edges.

This is wonderful Perri - I keep coming back to these as I find more wonderful uses - ie it made an absolutely wonderful bail for a recent pendant :))

I know EXACTLY what you mean, Bobbi! I just posted a necklace with a decidedly masculine flair using the technique. It lends itself to so many things. :^)))

There is a Twisted version of this knot at http://www.jewelrylessons.com/gallery/twisted-sisters

The twisted knotting in this project is a simple variation on the Square Knot in Mobius Hoops. No matter what you call it - Square Knot, Flat knot, or whatever - the basic construction of a Square Knot is Right Over Left, Left Over Right.

The twisted version is tied by repeating one-half of the Square Knot over and over - Right Over Left, Right Over Left. Isn't it great how such a simple change can make a lovely new design?

Of course, there are harder ways to tie it in wire, and easier ways that save your fingers a lot of suffering - Mobius is just that!

You know, I saw this used as a wrap for leather and loved it so much I had to have the tut. I bought a bunch of tutorials at the same time and wanted to print them all out. I was aghast at the amount of ink required to print some of them out but your tutorial is perfect! It is very ink frugal. So, out of 12 tuts that I downloaded, yours being at nearly the end, yours was the first one I printed. Thanks for the really GOOD ink frugal pictures, Perri! I wish more teachers would take those backgrounds they are using in consideration when they take their pictures for tutorials. I will just have to wait to print them after I buy new ink cartridges. It will eat up what I have left to print theirs.

Again, thank you for the really great pictures!
