Okay weird question maybe.. I was practicing making yarn balls with a trailing hook and pulled out a store bought string of cheaters to eyeball for reference, and noticed something that seems odd, from what I have been told about drifting and stuff..?
Am I crazy or does that seem backward to anyone else? There is so little space between the leading and trailing hooks that the bead actually hits the haft of the leading hook, no matter where it is along the long in between..!
The knots were impeccable though!
Here's some of the results of my attempts.. 2 pcs of chartreuse and 2 pcs of pink yarn overlaying each other, with a trailer hook. I put tags of tape on the loose ends so I can easily grab and slide a corkie and bead onto it etc as I desire.
I've also been wanting to throw together some jigs, I found my old fly-tying stuff but a lot of the hair was left exposed to the air too long and got rotten, but I have tons of hackle and stuff..
edit: dang, was trying to timg the picture so it was smaller, sorry..
