I'm giving Lace #7 a break for a while. Two-person weaving is really quite tough as one person. Also, it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to fix accidentally dropping a loop, or worse losing three loops at once. Unbraiding to fix something was *NOT" successful. Time for something different. I'll come back again later. #fingerloopbraiding #KeepLearning https://www.instagram.com/p/CNPBGEalbas/?igshid=9ea8zctcr6dk

Three failure bands and now the fourth band is *definitely* the correct pattern AND I seemed to have solved the tension issues as a single-braider for two-person braids. #fingerloopbraiding #KeepLearning https://www.instagram.com/p/CNJvFNZlldh/?igshid=16tn177g2dqvo

Ah ha!!! *Now* Lace #7 is looking like lace #7! And when I checked in with a niche FB group today for tips? One of the book's AUTHORS chimed in! So nice!! Lace is set aside to finish tomorrow, but I am happy tonight. #fingerloopbraiding #KeepLearning https://www.instagram.com/p/CNHKzjuF3GA/?igshid=17nxemy8elumz

This is my first wild failure. The lace is *supposed* to have a border on two sides. Nope, this came out with only a stripe on one side. Also, I modified instructions for two people into something I could do alone, memorizing both parts and setting down loops on to combs. Clearly what I tried was *repeatable* but DIDN'T result in what the book said I would get. Hmm. Gonna have to rethink this. (They are pretty enough but they are *NOT* Lace #7) #GottaMakeMistakes #KeepLearning #fingerloopbraiding https://www.instagram.com/p/CNEnvg5lhm0/?igshid=6rtm5kg21xy7

Okay, last new lace of the night. Lace #6 is just the round braid again but specific two-color layout to make V-shapes. #fingerloopbraiding #KeepLearning https://www.instagram.com/p/CNCEt58FUa_/?igshid=1aqu743yxwpjp

Second braid done of Lace #3 from "Tak V Bowes Departed" - six total collected. I think I am ready to play with fiber prep again and return to earlier projects. #KeepLearning #fingerloopbraiding https://www.instagram.com/p/CM6DDZylU43/?igshid=10l9ton2f50i5

Two practice laces each of Lace #1 and Lace #2 in "Tak V Bowes Departed" and the beginning of a first practice of Lace #3. Plus now we find out if I did a good job setting down a lace partway to take up tomorrow. #fingerloopbraiding #KeepLearning https://www.instagram.com/p/CM1KQP1FMRa/?igshid=rkrmf2dt5ch5

Sometimes I just need a different string fidget, in between my string fidgets. On days when I just cannot spin or card fiber or weave, I have this marvelous book to braid my way through from front to back. Today, two versions of lace #1. #fingerloopbraiding #StringCrafty #KeepLearning https://www.instagram.com/p/CMynS5al8ib/?igshid=lm89rm476pe1

One last look at this woven band so I can capture the braided ends: Again, 5-loop fingerloop square braids #AndeanBackstrap #KeepWeaving #KeepLearning #fingerloopbraiding https://www.instagram.com/p/CDkpYKmFUnD/?igshid=1anhn7qo672rg
