First of all..........notice I'm capitalising again, I've got two hands back, or at least one and a half.

Here's another tip or idea

This refers to tying on the stave behind the shrouds on issue 95

when tying the catharpins it's easy to get the ends of the new thread mixed up with the ones previously tied, so every time you go to tie a new thread, put a small bit of masking tape or similar on each end of the thread, that way you won't get the thread mixed up with the ones tied previously.

Of course this only applies if you don't trim the previous thread every time.

If this sounds confusing then you havn't got that far...........its fun!!!
Come on you Jimmies
