It's free to join and everyone on there is really helpful and supportive. I hope you find many like minded makers there. Quite a few do blogs as well so have a browse. They have lots of knitting/crochet patterns there too, lots of them free and a personal gallery space for you to post and share your own creative work as well. Hope this helps! :)Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02309075890584731845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137043855524820338.post-66637718452853024392019-05-22T17:00:29.688+01:002019-05-22T17:00:29.688+01:00Hi there, I've checked the post on Chrome and ...Hi there, I've checked the post on Chrome and internet explorer and it seems to be loading fine at the moment.

There is another good site that has a tutorial for monastic/right angled weave here:<br /><br />http://www.skunkhillstudio.com/projects/right_angle_weave/right_angle_weave.shtml<br /><br />I hope that helps. I just made a simple diamond shape and added some small beads between the larger ones to fill in the gaps and hide the thread. If you are using smaller beads then that might not be needed.

I'm afraid my French isn't up to translating the pattern but there is a french version provided by the designer. You can find it on the Ravelry site - link attached (which is free to join). The original pattern was free on the Knitty page so there shouldn't be any cost for the French version. <br /><br />https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/summit-2<br />Again sorry for such a late reply and happy knitting :)Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02309075890584731845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137043855524820338.post-17622742452874824722018-02-23T00:50:42.186+00:002018-02-23T00:50:42.186+00:00My pleasure.
