Glossary of knots and tapering lace tutorial
29/05/2009 by Paul Carpenter.
Made this glossary first for my own use as I increasingly ventured deeper into the world of braided knots. It is amazing just how many mathematical variations and codes there are to knots - I have’nt covered these as I don’t really understand them yet, at the moment I’m like a driver of a car who after years of driving is only just finding out how it works.
Glossary of knots and tapering lace tutorial
I have also included a short piece about tapering lace which complete’s other PDF’s I have done on the subject of lace, plus diagrams for two knots used to help explain some items of the glossary. Hope they help someone.

Another session of messing about with tandy tools
05/05/2009 by Paul Carpenter.
The amount of tools used this time is quite long and even managed to squeeze in a Barry King tool, so I was able to ruin even more leather in better and increased variations.
Plus you guessed it - it was all an excuse to make another quiver but it did also enable me to make a more indepth tutorial then the last including placement of stamping tools, dyeing lace and the leather, plus some other really exciting stuff!!!!
