If you would like to see a pic of a 6 rope braid, there are pics on my blog here. http://buffalofood.blogspot.com/2009/01/holiday-wrapup.html I have been doing the six rope since I was a kid. It's just some kind of strange rote action that happens with me and I don't think I could ever even write directions for it. Usually about 90 seconds and it's done. I learned from my grandmother, and to this day my mother hates me because domestic skills skipped a whole generation there ;-) Here's another "short and fat" shape I do http://buffalofood.blogspot.com/2008/12/get-that-braided-bread-when-you-go.html Thanks for posting this. It's nice to see a little revival in crafted bread as an art form. Nice braids, Beth Ann. Thanks for sharing- PJH
