Start by wrapping the 9-foot strand of lace around your finger, centering the strand on your finger so that both ends are the same length. This is your starter strand. Place three working strands, the five-foot lengths, under this first starter strand. Center the strands so that all tail ends are the same length. Once again I have cut them short so that you can view them better in this on-screen format.
Twisted strands result in a rather strange looking end product.
Repeat with middle working strand as in the following photographs. Begin the weaving the working strands. This is done in much the same way as when you were starting the project on your finger. Now it should be much easier because there is less to hold on to. It is very important to snug up the project as you complete each round by gently pulling on all ends.
