Sphere #009 is the same sphere as Sphere #001 and you weave as described for that. I have reduced the size so that the ornament would better fit a Christmas tree. To make it easier to start weaving I have collected 6 arms in one piece. You need 2 x two pieces to make a sphere. Just fix the pieces to form 2 full circles and weave as usual. If you want a simple chequered sphere use 2 colours. For the sphere in front I used 2 red pieces, one pink, and one yellow. I cut up the pink and yellow pieces to individual arms and fixed alternating colours to the inner face of the full red circles centre.

I finished the first one sphere. I’m not very happy with the result. I think I’m not close enough. I managed to close with great difficulty and … it’s not a sphere … I like so much the model … I will try, but maybe it’s too much if you realize a movie with almost the final assembly. Or maybe you have some pictures.
Well, it is not so very easy. But after a little more practice I am sure you will do very well. Remember to weave as tight as you can. Lene
Hi!
I tried another sphere!
I really do not know what wrong. We worked very closely, but when you close … look bad.
Balloon me out perfectly the first time.
pls fwd me the link of the video clip.
There is no video clip for spheres yet. But take a look at the balloon video. Almost the same thing. Lene
