Good instruction and foto :slight_smile:

In the final photo, I notice that two strands have vanish. Is that just the knot covering the two working ends?

In the final step of the tutorial the working ends inadvertently disappeared from the photo. The ends can be left long or cut close to the knot as shown ion the photos
