Now this is a simple but oh so useful little technique devised recently by Elaine P. Gan. At first I must admit I didn't 'see' it as a particularly useful tool as, after all, the SLT was doing the same thing for me and that was already implanted in BC3's little old brain.
BUT when I came to try it out in a new little pattern I'm working on it certainly was helpful. Not QUITE as Elaine probably would have thought of but it has now got me really excited.
I bet you want to know what it is? Well, Elaine has called it the reverse join which totally sums up the usefulness of this idea. I used it with a switch shuttles too - will show you the new little design tomorrow - even though the web page itself isn't quite ready.
Here's a little technique page which I've done for thsoe who prefer to have things the 'old fashioned'way and not as a video!
Right. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYes - very handy! :-)
ReplyDeleteinteresting... i've been using this for the shuttle join at the point of a chain, so the two chains stand apart from each other just enough to not twist... haven't reversed the shuttles, though...
ReplyDeleteI love Elaine's extension of the lock join to encapsulate the green thread. I keep finding new places to use it.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I like your technical drawings more than videos!
