The whole truth and nothing BUT the truth. It's official - I've REALLY lost the plot.
Over the years I'm still asked whether I've got a technique page on this, that or t'other. One of those being joining the second side of the SR to a picot on a previous element.
Sadly I'd never 'quite' got round to doing it. BUT the other day after doing the 'joining in a new thread' page I decided I'd settle down (yes, the weather still isn't much good) and do the SR join.
When I start on something like this my first task is to set up the folder and files to store the drawings, documents and pictures in. So, in my enthusiasm off I went to do just that. First the new folder (in my tips and techniques section on the computer), then a text document (safely stored in the new folder) and an EazyDraw file too. Great - but then I wandered off to do something else!!!!!
I got back to the computer an hour or so later and thought I'd left the aforesaid files open but I hadn't. That meant going to 'finder' to do a search. What did that reveal? TWO documents of roughly the same name!!!! On further snooping around my filing system I found a whole folder (with a slightly different name) on the join in question and actually started in September 2011!!! I'd almost got it finished too and then I must've forgotten!!! Send for the men in white coats!!!
So, I finished it off and here it is!!!
Did you give instructions on this join as part of a TIAS? I'm sure I learnt it from you!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for yet another very clear technique page! Better late than never.
ReplyDeleteAh, eureka, Jane. That's what probably happened!!!
ReplyDeleteYou need a holiday in Australia Jane......
ReplyDeleteThanks, Liyarra - you are SOOOO right. I do need a holiday and in Australia too!!!! I'm on the way!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm sure this is a fine technique because yours always are, but when would you use this? I feel like I've missed the beginning of the plot; I have no idea what the purpose of it is. (And I've already had a splendid vacation....)
ReplyDeleteAh, briddie. This is the join that you use when you join the second (unflipped) side of a split ring to a picot (or even a doodad). It gives a neater join than using the second shuttle.
ReplyDeleteDear me, Jane, see I told you you need a holiday! And I totally agree with Liyarra. :)
ReplyDeleteI thought you had published this way back when. Since I didn't need to look the technique up, I just assumed it was available. Glad you found things all ready to go.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jane. I won't be bothering you for this technique to be written up anymore :)
ReplyDeleteJane (both) you are absolutely right, and I believe it was the year that the TIAS was a girl.
ReplyDeletePhyllis - you're NEVER a bother and I'm sorry you've had to wait.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Connie. Where would I be without you.
Jane, I really appreciate your technique page. Thank you for all the work you do to make it available to me.
