Interesting idea but why didn't you do several ribs at the same time? One starterknot and then work up these ribs. With 15 needles you could do 15 ribs minimizingthe switching sides as well. ----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: the myths about rib stitchingThat's the way I started to do it....one needle for each rib..But I decided to do one rib at a time because the work is concentrated in one place, requiring less movement from one rib to the next. Secondly, I thread 30" of waxedcord onto each needle at a time. I wind all 15 pieces of cord around a fixture (a board with two nails 15" apart) at one time then thread all needles at one sitting....It all seemed simpler to me to deal with the short pieces of cord thanthe long ones. How many feet of cord are required to do one rib on a piet with the conventional method? What is meant by stitch "sides"? Besides, with thestarting knot, a straight needle is required. That makes it easier to get consistency between needles and to find the hole on the opposite side of the wing.I found that I was tying enough knots per hour to put some serious wear on my fingers, so I took a RH glove and cut off the thumb and index finger. That protected the fingers getting the most abuse and provided the dexterity requiredfor the thumb and index finger.________________________________________________________________________________
