some of you might know that i have a fascination with string figures
you know like Jacobs ladder cat's cradle ext
most of you might not know this but they can get EXTREMELY complicated and intricate every culture has their own versions
this one in particular is from Alaska and it is notorious for being complex
(and possibly the most difficult)
This my friends is the holy grail of all string figures
If you are interested here is a link to the instructions

a video of someone making said figure (not me, I wish I were that fast :-O)
