Like many others, I recommend a triplet or 3-face-3. You're not going out of your minor set, and not everyone's active all the time.
I recommend: Corner Triplet (Linda Leslie) Melanie's Triplet (Melanie Axel-Lute) Microchasmic Triplet (Ann Fallon) or Down by the Riverside (3-face-3 by Melanie Axel-Lute) I don't recommend Ted's Triplet #7, because it also includes a proper right-and-left through, which many people these days are more unfamiliar with than contra corners. -Chris Page San Diego, CA On Wed, Feb 20, 2019 at 1:38 PM Hannah Chamb via Callers <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all, first time posting here! > > I'm new-ish to calling and I've yet to call contra corners.
