Late night tangling

Here it is 1a.m. and I am sitting here posting tangle tiles knowing that in a few hours I will be helping build pre-fab houses. But I've got my second wind so I thought I'd take advantage of it. Here are a few challenges I'm responding to this week.

I am the diva challenge #169: use circles for string. I used patterns (from inside out) Man-O-Man, Vega, Aa's, Meer, and Reticulated. I had put together the string using various common objects around the house as concentric circles lying to one side. I noticed Betsy Wilson had the same idea as I did (only executed it better than I).





Artful Creations' Tackle It Tuesday: the letter "N". Here I used N'Zeppel, Nipa, Navaho, Netting and Nvelope. I really like Navaho here, and I feel like I am starting to get the hang of N'Zeppel. 


















Made by Joey's weekly tangle challenge (which I had been meaning to do for a while, but hadn't gotten around to it) #10: use "10" as your string and use only tangles with straight lines and circles. Here is the string I made, followed by the completed tile, where I used Quare, Ahh, Up and Across, Purlbox, Navaho and Chartz.




Adele Bruno's It's A String Thing #42: using Tanglepatterns' String 038, do a monotangle/tangleation of Knightsbridge. I think I did 8 variations on this busy tile.



Finally, I joined the Line Weaving community, where they have weekly Mojo challenges. Here are 4 weeks I did:

Week 58: Camelia, Worms, DNA Chips and Diagonal



Week 57: Smokestack, Unme, Bowties, and Swirly Dot



Week 56: Chainging, Beelight, Sunny Grid and Barberpole

More later, I suppose....

It's funny, isn't it? I am sometimes tangling in the early hours, even when I have to get up early for work. I find it very relaxing and also gives me a sense of achievement before I fall asleep. You've done some great work here -hope your house building has gone as well as your tangling! Axxx
