Jens Pind. What a lovely weave, and quite easy to do... once it is started. Placement of the fifth ring in the sequence is the key - get it right, and you continue weaving merrily on your way. Get it wrong... the sky slowly darkens, thunder rumbles, and the piece in your hand begins to get ornery. You battle on, sure that things should be easier than this, but ... the weave begins to defy you. It slowly closes down the spaces, until you are halfway to Hulk transformation trying to jam that next ring through. It has turned into a Spiral weave, only at an AR that is much too small.
The piece on the top is correctly woven Jens Pind. The piece on the bottom is incorrectly woven Jens Pind. Why, oh why, does this happen to me (as you would suspect, statistically speaking) 50% of the time?
(Please excuse my poor closure in the spiral piece. I was probably finding it difficult to get my pliers in there, BECAUSE I WAS WEAVING IT WRONG!)
