This week, I bring you a Learn With Me video I shot back in July during the Tour de Fleece about Andean Plying. I hope you enjoy!
The video I learned from is by Karen Diaz, and is on youtube here.
This is where I would go to remind myself how to wrap before I wised up and drew it on my tool.
knitty.com discussed a slightly different method for making the bracelet.
