Default Need a Really BIG Ephinany

Hrm. Try taking a standard length of floss, stripping and recombining
two or three strands of it, then wrapping around a couple of fingers,
or making a loop on the table.


I'm not sure what a standard length of floss is eg Your suggestion about
stripping and using less than 6 strands coupled with a thought to mimic how
tassels are made by wrapping around a piece of cardboard gave me some nice
mini-skeins.

Since the whole skein won't show because they're going to be placed in
pockets,
I opted to make long loops, despite ellice's comment g, that may or may not
have a wrapper when I'm finished.


Huh - what comment? Are you teasing me? I think the loops are a nice idea
- I just gave you a stitch kind of idea.......;^)

OTOH, I may scatter some skeins to make a
floor. When I'm finished with this masterpiece, I'll take pictures and then do
a kit -- no decisions which are driving me nuttier than usual!!

I'm sure it will be lovely, and interesting - as your pieces always seem to
be!
