Bummer...I remember when they did before and it was very helpful.<br /><br />Do you have any hints on how to get my flat leather lace to lay straight when making the Spanish ring knot? It keeps wanting to bunch up and lay on top of itself. I can make them fine (multipass ones too) with regular (round) cord...can't get it to work with flat lace for some reason.<br /><br />I made a few on a piece of PVC and got it to look right there, but when I transferred it over to the item I was building, it lost its shape when I started tightening it on there. I tried building it in place also and couldn't get it to look good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-57486097231063064862008-01-17T23:25:00.000-05:002008-01-17T23:25:00.000-05:00Thanks for the link, I'll add it to this blog entr...Thanks for the link, I'll add it to this blog entry.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-27219031539659026542008-01-17T14:12:00.000-05:002008-01-17T14:12:00.000-05:00Hi, there's a tutorial for this on KHWW site, by B...Hi, there's a tutorial for this on KHWW site, by Bud Brewer.
