Since I had a hard time doing the "schoolgirl" two braids on my own

skill
required for these hairstyles!
When I was in primary school, most of us had long hair (or, as long as
it would grow; mine never even reached the waist <g>); short hair
signified lice problem and the order from authorities to cut, so the
parents were much against short hair :) So, all of us were able to
perform a "3-strand braid" on ourselves, one each side of the head.
Some were able to start with two braids - one each side of the head -
then join them into one braid down the middle (very chic <g>). But
there was one girl in my class who knwe how to "plait in 4"... She was
the most popular girl, showered with gifts and friendship :) If you
were in her good graces, she'd take apart your "schoolgirl two" that
Clay mentions, and re-do them "her style"...
30 yrs later, when I started making lace, I realised she was doing it
too :)
