This is not necessarily so. I've started using a wider torchon pattern (50+ pairs) for demonstration and I've had great reactions. I can show them that, no matter how many pairs there are, I'm only using 2 pair, one coming from above-right and the other from above-left to meet at the pin. Then I drop one pair and pick up the next one. The usual reaction is, "Oh, I see!" I then go into CT makes this area, CTC makes this other area, and CTCT makes this. People don't sign up for a class, but they leave with a smile and a feeling of understanding what we're doing. Robin P.
