I like W2 because it reminds me of a Mothers Day present I made years and years ago. The one where you cut out two shapes, cut strips into them, and then weave them together to form a heart.

Mum still has the heart I made to this day.
At first I struggled with the set up of W2; I couldn’t wrap my head around the layout of the diamonds. But once I realised it was just a straight grid of squares on the diagonal I was sorted. I can turn my paper 45 degrees and draw the grid, then turn it back straight to add in the lines and finish it off.
You can find the Tangle Patterns tutorial here.
Step 1. Draw a grid of diamonds.
Step 2. Add in all lines in one direction, alternating inside and outside the little squares.
Step 3. Add in all lines in the other direction, again alternating inside and outside the squares.
Step 4 (optional). Decide where the ‘light’ is and add in some shading accordingly.
Fun fact: unless I actively think about it, my ‘light’ is always to the top left so I shade the bottom right of my Tangles. I don’t know why, it just feels right.
What do you think of W2? Let me know in the comments!

I’ve made those hearts before too… They’re cool. I like this tangle, it reminds me of a basket. I can see why it took you a moment to get your head around it

It made me think of Moana, when they’re all weaving baskets together and she makes a boat 😀

I was totally obsessed for a couple of months. I’m fairly sure I could recite the whole thing word-for-word at this point!

We learnt one of the songs with the kids in school, so it keeps popping into my head at random moments!

I wish we’d done songs like that in school. Which one did you learn?

It was ‘how far i’ll go’ that starts “i’ve Been staring at the edge of the water”. It’s a cool song

It did take me a few tries! But that makes it even more satisfying when I figure out something I was struggling with 🙂

That’s so cool, and I love the woven papercraft heart, too! I can see how it would melt your head though… It reminds me of entrelac knitting, and that’s TRICKY!
