@yumxmy not trying to be rude, but it really isn't copying. Is it the exact same pattern with the exact same dimensions? No, it is the exact same pattern but mirrored, but it is more of the full face of a cat instead of half of it. It is not like it is going to be more popular than this, you can see that this pattern has like 30 pictures and probably everyone who has seen this pattern will know it is a mirrored version, and almost no one would say that the pattern is completely original. This was also created first so no one would say that this pattern is the one that copied. Have a good day! 😉
@eggr0ll the base strings should be as long as you want your ties to be, plus the length you want your finished piece to be. So about 18 inches each is good to work with, maybe less depending on if you make a loop or different type of ends. Then you sort of have to guess at the length for all the other leading colors, so you can either knot wih the whole skein in tact or just add in more color later if you run out. 😄
