Tips for Tangling TOUR

Nancy Domnauer's tangle, Tour, is one of the three tangles used in this week's "It's a String Thing" (click here for all of the delightful details).

I spent an enjoyable time today getting acquainted with Tour.  This resulted in some

I invite you to take a 'tour' of Tour.  Spend a little time with it - you will certainly be in for an adventure!
