[quote=yurdle]I don't have too much experience, and my first few were pretty nasty.
I have done quite a few brummels on single braids, though. It's very easy once you get the hang of it.
I use a set of crochet needles (I think...not very familiar with the isle or store that I bought them from) for the most part. They come in half mm increments and taper down at the back so they slide right into the single braids while pulling a line in tow.
I've done at least one brummel over a thimble, and iirc I had to pull it even farther inside out than normal, if that's possible. It didn't fit over the thimble after making it into a loop so I had to loosen and loosen the knots until it would. I know that doesn't help much, but honestly splicing just takes practice. I wouldn't get discouraged after one attempt.
Or make an eye splice in a double braid first...then anything you do w/ the single braid will seem like a cinch.[/quote]
