As you can see here I did the entire first row,
and this is not yet attached to eachother in the round.
This last yellow thread is not tied around another thread yet,
and this first purple thread is also not knotted around another thread,
in the end they are going to be knotted around eachother, just like these,
and when you do that this will come together,
and you will get a circle.
there are 2 reasons why I will not do that at this stage.
First of all: I wanted to have a bag to put some pencils in,
and if I'm going to fold this over, than no pen will fit in there.
So I will make another set of these threads.
But, my experience is also, that, when working in the round,
it is nicer to first have some 'body' here,
to first have done a bit, like here,
and that you will work on it in the round later.
It's just easier,
and experience has taught me it's going to look more neatly,
so that's what I'm going to do first
and I will also show you my way of working,
what I like to do.
The craftsteacher, tatting, weaving, crochet, knotting, knitting
Keep watching: I will show how to knot the green block the other way at the end
Okay, for this video I will leave the taking out of a part for later.
I will first show you how I approach my knotting work.
I like to do a block a time,
and I always want to use the workingthread,
that I'm making the knots with, as long as possible in one 'session'.
That just works the fastest.
You do have to pay attention when working in a circle
how you do this.
I will just take a part.
I'm going to take green for example.
The threads are in the correct starting position now,
I will take this piece,
remove the other threads
so we can focus on this.
Turning it a bit.
And we will just start with this green half block.
First we will do this knot and after that these 2,
then these 3 and then these 4.
Why I will do that? Because, here I can use 1 thread,
ok, it's just 1 knot here,
and here you can, with the same thread, because it goes all the way like this,
make 2 knots,
and that's what I will show you.
Okay, first knot.
That's this one.
It's going to be a light green knot,
and the threads are just simply going
from this side to this side
from left to right,
that's your first knot.
This thread here I will put to this side,
because I will use that in a moment.
Next you will make these two.
So from upper left to bottom right.
So you will take the next light green thread
and you're going to knot that around the next 2 dark green threads.
so this is the first
and this is the second.
Next you will make these, 1, 2, 3.
So you will take the next light green thread
and you will work around the next 3 dark green threads.
And, as you can see, look, I will take this light green thread now,
and I can just continue to work with it all the time,
so 1,
2
3.
You know, this works so nicely,
it makes you to be able to work quickly.
Okay, last,
that's going to be 4 knots.
So 1,
2,
- you can also see quite easily
around which threads you have to knot,
they are there just in the right order,
so that's nice -.
Okay, I'm going to do the same
- I will quickly finish this -
with light pink.
Here I will also make this triangle,
because it will get all your threads,
so you can make this block after that, because you will have all your threads,
all the light pink threads from here
and all the dark green threads, as you can see here,
they will be on the right spot.
You always have to look with each design:
what is handy? Just look closely to the design.
I will knot this as fast as I can.
Okay, light pink,
We will start again with 1 knot,
put this aside,
next light pink thread,
this is 1,
and 2,
almost there,
next light pink thread.
You can see how very simple this design actually is
I've done much more difficult things
with much more complicated designs,
and that's fun also,
but this is really relaxing
and a really easy design,
just nice to do.
Okay, 2
3
and then the last light pink.
1,
2,
3,
and 4.
And, as you can see,
if you also take the design with it,
here you have the 4 green threads next to eachother
and the light pink threads next to eachother,
so, now you've done this part
and this part, and now you can start making this part.
You've worked to this side till now
with these upper parts,
and now you're going to work in the other direction,
because the dark green threads,
they come from the right side
and go to the left side.
So we will take this dark green thread
and now we're going to make 4 knots, making a diamond
around this light pink.
Well, as you can see, you really don't have to think about it.
This is 1,
2,
3,
4.
Okay, next,
this has to stay here,
next dark green thread.
Well, you know,
you see how quickly this works,
and
how simple this actually is.
You know, it is quite some work to make a bag like this,
but with a desing like this....
well, you know, you can really sit comfortably with it,
watch some television if you would like that,
it is just relaxing.
Okay, third dark green thread.
I do try to pull these knots
quite tight,
don't pull too hard,
but what you do not want is that this gets apart,
it must come together as close as possible.
And, you know, when you're knotting regularly
you will get some kind of rhythm.
Okay, last one.
And then I think it will be clear to you.
2nd,
3rd,
4th.
You know, next you can do the same thing
by making the blue border first,
like here, and then do this part.
You can make the red border and this yellow one.
You do have to pay attention however,
the moment you get to the purple,
you have to remember
that you sometimes need to change direction.
Here for example, here on this border,
at the purple point
you have an orange thread entering here
and you see that this orange thread
leaves here.
This is just like what I showed you with the upper border row, how you can do this,
so please pay attention
look closely to the design
with this zigzag (I made a video for the zigzag!)
but for the rest, (I made a video for the zigzag!)
it is very simple. (I made a video for the zigzag!)
So watch these points,
at the zigzag, where to change from direction
and the rest will be just clear.
Have fun, and I will, when I will close this to a circle,
show you how I do this,
how to handle the upper border threads
turning it around once and a while, so I will show you that later in another video.
Okay, have fun!
