Challenge: tanglepatterns string #01

I've been trying some of the string suggestions at tanglepatterns.com so this week's challenge from the Diva fits right in! We are to use string number 1 - one I haven't tried yet - and tangle it to our heart's content.
Tangles: Fohbraid, Hollibaugh, Mi2, Tipple
Tangles: Chebucto (that went haywire at one end), Drupe, Fracas,
Knightsbridge (variation), Spinners

  1. I so admire how perfect your work is - not a shaky line in sight - both these tiles are stunning - beautiful array of tangles :)

    1. I've always been one for intricate detail. Something I heard years ago about perfection has stuck with me: never strive for perfection. Only God can do that. BUT, we can - and should - strive for excellence. We can all do that. :)

  2. Visiting your site is like taking a class. Your string is so well disguised in these two tiles...but it is there. These are beautiful.

  3. I like them both. Each is unique. I have not tried Mi2. It is one that caught my eye when I saw it but have not worked with it yet.

  8. Both are very beautiful. I can't decide wich one I like more. I love the Mi2 and the knit looking tangle in the first one, but the flowy tangle in the second one is a real eye catcher in the second one. Great :)

    1. Thank you. The 'knit-looking' tangle is Fohbraid, in case you'd like to try it. And the 'flowy' thing is a combination of Drupe and Fracas, both official tangles.

  9. Really nice. Your Mi2 is elegant, I still struggle with that pattern.
    Your blog is educational, so enjoyable.

    1. Thanks Diane. With Mi2, have you tried changing the little black circles to the 'seed' shapes? Or maybe you're not leaving enough space between the little black circles? (a challenge I have with some tangles!)

    1. Thanks Helen. I was experimenting with sending Fohbraid in opposite directions, one beside the other. It's quite interesting!

  13. i think your chebucto looks great at that end - looks like you meant it to be that way! and i really like the braided part of the first tile - i don't recognize that - it's quite lovely to look at!
