Here is my entry for It’s A String Thing #99, with Tearce, Tracery, and Tripoli. Clearly there is a T theme this week… T for Tuesday? And the string looks like a T.

Tripoli is a fun and versatile tangle to draw, and I thank Adele for her timely tips for tangling this pattern. Tearce is a neat contour style pattern, and Tracery is especially suited as a border tangle. I threw in some Tipple to fill in some space (happily it starts with T).

I look forward to seeing the results for the challenge.

This week’s “It’s A String Thing” challenge #97 is just in time for Father’s Day. Patterns of choice include Umble (brand new official tangle), Double D’s, All About V’s, and Diamonds and Squares. The designated string is Father’s Day string by Adele Bruno, CZT — and it spells out Dad!

After completing this tangle I noticed that the central diagonal section resembles a tie. Isn’t that appropriate? Step outs for the patterns can be found at TanglePatterns.com.

This week’s “It’s A String Thing”  (#95) challenged participants to use TanglePatterns String 096 by Sandy Hunter, and to creatively incorporate patterns ‘Nzeppel, Bublz, Onamato, and/or Yincut. Pattern step outs can be found at TanglePatterns.com.

I thought that it would be fun to feature strands of Onamato inside the vertical sides of the string, and then to draw ‘Nzeppel within the top and bottom sides. Lastly I drew a series of bubbles (Bublz) in the center. Unfortunately I didn’t have room to include Yincut.

The theme of this week’s “It’s A String Thing” challenge was a salute to May flowers. These floral tangle patterns include Sooflowers, Jasmin, Wist, and Fleuri. Thanks as always for the opportunity to participate, Adele!

This is my tangle that I submitted for It’s A String Thing Challenge #91. Patterns are Vano, 2-n-5, and Zin. I liked the effect of inverting the colors for Vano based on the boundaries of the triangular string.
