O...M...G...

The polar vortex has split and the frozen North has become more frozen, so of course(!) my plans for this month sort of "snowballed" on me.

My original plan for this month was to release tutorials on the Spiral Futomomo and the 3TK.  ...But when I started the 3TK, I realized that I really needed to update the 2TK as well.  So, I got that done too.  ...Then I realized that some people might like to have a really close-up tutorial on X Frictions, Square Frictions (aka Half-Moon Frictions) and L Frictions, as they are all commonly used in the TK.  And then I realized that I wanted to show not just one classic version of the 3TK, but three different common variants....  

There was a snowball effect is my point....

So, without further ado, here are January's updates!

Spiral Futomomo

Takate Kote, update 2019, including the 2TK, X-3TK, Y-3TK and Mt Fuji 3TK

Frictions -  X Frictions, Square Frictions (aka Half-Moon Frictions) and L Frictions

Enjoy!

As always, my deepest thanks to each and every one of you for your support!

I tell myself all the time when I'm instructing, "Keep it simple, stupid." The KISS acronym has kept me in line more often than the most organized lesson plan. Focus on what you want to teach and ignore distractions. Try to carve out a dedicated time during the week to update past lessons and prioritize them versus demand. That way, you can say, "I'll fix that at that time," so it doesn't get in the way of your focused lesson and become a distraction. Thanks for the update and have a great weekend!

Those are great points and is usually how I work. But in this case, these things all needed to be done anyway and they all supported each other nicely, so the aphorism I went with was “never put off until tomorrow what you can get done today...or this month at any rate”. ;). Have a great one!

I showed these to my girlfriend and her squeaks of excitement were deafening. That's our anniversary sorted! Thank you for the updates!
