mOhanaji, if little girls see you playing with strings like these, they will take your strings away to play cat's cradle with you! And, that's just the beginning of the game!

Actually, there is a book on the knots. The native Indians here are masters of this art. My aim in these attempts is to explore the knot structures in simple kOlams. It is very easy to lose track of the up and down movement and one has to repeat the whole exercice once again;-) Regards! - mOhana
