Double Dip Braid - Class Fourth and Final

    Sometimes I like to take classes, not for the article, like the coin purse, but for the techniques involved. This was one of those. I saw the braid and asked myself what is the path to make this one pass and did not see an obvious answer. It is intended to be something like a lanyard, but I do not usually use those. I wanted the technique.

    Since, once again, I could not stay for the class, when I got back I did my classes at home. It has taken me several days as I have other things to do too. You all know how life happens. I finished them in the order that I would have done at Toccoa.
    I began this one and got to the fourth ring, which happens to be on the second row. You make the first two rows first. I saw a dilemma. How to add the chain back to the first row and still end up at the top of the chain. Erin Holloway-Moseley taught the class, but was not here to advise me, so looking at the instructions it says connect and wrap backwards. I thought about that for a moment and decided to do this:
    I put the hook through and pull up a loop, pass the shuttle through, pull it back under, making sure it lies neatly, put the thread over and pull down a loop, pass the shuttle through and pull back up, tighten to the first part and you have a DS. It's a split chain without the split, sort of.
    Erin, if you read this, tell me if I got it right. I do know that for some reason my rings don't overlap like hers do, but I think I figured out the technique. I also see I need to make it neater.
