Nice guidebook! Mine doesn't have the cover connected to it either.

I can't believe not one's mentioned the cool Bronaugh guide book. The rope is neat too.

The rug you did for 88 was amazing in person. The pic does not do justice at all. Look forward to ours. Got ropes for you !

Yep, one of my first guides I got around '94. That was one of Johnny's ropes (well I guess Tina's since she always bought 'em) so I dropped the guide in there for the pic.Busty wrote:I can't believe not one's mentioned the cool Bronaugh guide book.
It was my pleasure, I thought about all the horrible one liners I'd heard him drop while I was weaving it.88keys wrote:Thanks bunches Charlie!! I love my new rug!! I think about Johnny everytime I look at it.

Y'all have probably seen a couple of my mats in Tackett's store. The one right by the cash register was the largest one to date but it took two ropes. This one is a new personal best, I managed to squeeze 4 wraps out of a single rope for Jared and Karla.
I'll post something soon for the auction, as long as you have ropes to retire why not get a mat and drop some cash for the PMRP?
Also, I'm compiling a comprehensive list of directions for a friend on how to do this. Frzsnow already makes killer hats so I figure she can pull this off better than me. I took a bunch of pics and have made a few drawerings of the pattern for her so it should be easy to pick up for anyone with time and patience and a knowledge of any type of weaving.

I wove my first rope (a 50m) into a nice oval mat using the 'ocean pleat' from the Ashley Book of knots...took a ton of space to do, but didn't take too long.

Yeah I made a couple with the oval weave too but they didn't hold their form too well so I started using this weave (also from the Ashley book). Takes quite a bit longer but in the end I think they hold their shape a lot better.
