SOLID SINNETS

3049. The edges of this one are more prominent.

3050. The t~ture here has been doubled by the introduction of

additional strands. Any of the other diagrams may have their texture

doubled in a similar manner. Moreover any may have their edges

accented by adding an extra strand at each corner as in 'I/: 3049.

3051, 3052. These are worked as the others.

If a sinnet is not sufficiently compact when first tied, which is very likely

to happen, particularly when making the larger ones, they may be easily

worked over, along their length, with a pricker, first tightening all the

even strands in sequence and then tightening the odd ones. This is not so

arduous a task as might appear, although it may take a little while before

the knack is acquired.

3053, 3054. In these diagrams, for the first time a strand from an

305"4

odd-numbered space is led to an even-numbered space, and a strand

from an even-numbered space is led to an odd-numbered space.

But having once departed from a space, that space should be forgotten

and the new space approached in the manner that is peculiar to it, and

which has already been described. The tension of SINNET 'I/: 3057 should

be handled carefully. The texture differs from anything that has hereto-

fore been shown.
