Thanks a lot!  I have started playing around with this new craft.  I
designed an electric guitar picture for my husband since he is a guitarist.
I think it looks pretty good for a beginner!

Here's another Christmas tree; you can make it to whatever height you want:
1. 4 spaces, 3-4, 1-6
2. 3 spaces, 3-4, 2 spaces, 1-6
3. 2 spaces, 3-4, 4 spaces, 1-6
4. 1 spaces, 3-4, 6 spaces, 1-6
5: 2-3-4-6, 3-6 8 times, Z
6. 4 spaces, 2-3-4-6, Z
If you want to make it larger, add more spaces at the beginning of each
line, and add more lines following the pattern after line 4. Each line
starts one space earlier and has two more spaces between the 3-4 and 1-6.
Once you've made the tree as tall and wide as you want, continue with line 5

above, but include enough 3-6es so that the Z ends up 1 position past where
the 1-6 is on the line before it. You'll also need to adjust the trunk a bit

(though I'd need to play with it a bit to figure how best to accomplish
that.

Terrence, actually still here. '-)

Thanks, Jill! This will be so fun to make. Do they have any other pictures?

I will do better than that.  I downloaded it, so I will attach it.

Thanks Cathy!  I have been overwhelmed at the possibilities of what could be
drawn.  I started the book and I did a sail boat, your tree you mentioned
and a school bus.   And those wer in the first 14 pages or so.  I found on
Perkin's website a pattern for the eifal tower.  I am not ready for that one
yet!  Such a fascinating thing I have found while searching for the macramé
book.  I guess that is the life of a crafter... always splintering off onto
new and different projects!

hi all,

an interesting thread regarding the Marie Porter books and drawing with the
braille writer. there is only one thing I know how to make on the braille
writer  I will share it here. it is a Xmas tree and I learned to make it
when I was very young. here is the pattern:

line 1: space five times, then make a for sign with dots 1,2,3,4,5,6, then
go to next line.
line 2: space 4 times then make 3 for signs and go to next line.
line 3: space 3 times then make 5 for signs and go to next line.
line 4: space 2 times then make 7 for signs and go to next line.
line 5: space once then make 9 for signs and go to next line.
line 6: repeat row 1.

<smile> Cathy
