yep the first time I made flour glandes at home, I didnt put flour on my hands... oh boy did i regret that... it definately is a pain to get that stuff off ur hands

Atlay.. how many u making total.. I dont want this trade to be one sided... it sounds like ur on ur 3rd batch... that is definately more than plenty just for one of my slings.... then again once i started making them, i didnt stop for like 3 days.. i made a ton for myself

Just got started on ur sling... gonna make it about 35 inches. The 2 I have madehave about 15-16% stretch(that is with me pulling it pretty tight but not really hard). So 16% strech at 35in will make it about 3'5". Is that a good sizefor you?

You could stretch out all your crocheted slings and take the set of data points (x as regular length, f(x) as streched) then use your graphing calculator to find r for variation and exponential in order to see which line fits better. Then, once you have the best fit line, you'd simply find where f(x) is equal to 42" (more or less). Then you could see if the math really works out. Of course, this is assuming you enjoy this kind of stuff...


Sure, I can tie a slip knot, it would just take a lot of string/slack. I mean, my favorite slip knot is the noose, so I'd probably need a WHOLE LOT of extra string to tie the finger loop.

One question, is the dough ur using self rising?  I think the flour i used was non-self rising. It took a few batches but with each batch I was getting less and less cracks.

Considering I only have 2 fully made crocheted slings and they are about the same size, its kinda hard to do any type of plot currently. Once I get a bigger sample size Iwill be able to get a more accurate relationship. Your current sling is the 3rd one I am making and the only one that is a different size.

A noose is possible considering the amount of stretch it current has ( i will be done with this tonight and post pics when its done). I will leave it just as straps (crocheted with 1 sc row for those of you who would like to know) and let you decide what to do with them. Its looking great, its my 3rd one and so far my best looking one. getting better and better.

Hope this suffices.

Sadly I have not gotten the chance to talk to my art teacher yet and will attempt to tomorrow... How hard is a clay one after being fired? I want to know if it is worth it or if i should try the flour thing. If the fired clay is better i have acess to plenty who knows maybe i can get the paint from him that when fired makes your stuff shiny 8)

Slingwolf, from what I hear, the clay ones basically turn into porclein... but this is different from pottery as it is completely solid and very dense. They are by far better than the flour ones but the flour ones are cheaper and easier to get a hold of.

Atlay, I thought i'd get it done by last night but i didnt. It literally have only maybe 60 stitches left so it wont take that much longer. Its looking great tho.
Those glandes look great too. Those would be very good and just fine for the trade.

Hey Atlay just finished up your sling. I will be editing in pics in a few mins

Check ur PM for my address for those glandes

Great trade imo.. i hope you'll like ur sling.. it measures 41.5" unstretched, who actually knows how much it will stretch when you get a rock in there and after you make up ur noose/slip loop. It is the best one ive made so far. Pics are comin!

EDIT: Here are the pics

sry bout the misspelling...
