I am so confused! > I propose that both techniques should be called "missed-hole" as tablets have unthreaded holes. IMHO the technique _is_ the same, only the result is different due to the target you want to achieve. In Candace Crockett's book the goal is to get a certain structure in the band and to achieve this the threading has a unthreaded holes to form this structure similar to a threaded-in design. What I call "missed-hole" is (I am not sure for 100% but nearly...) of Scandinavian origin. Here the goal is to get clear lines easily with small patterns. If you would use a 3/1 threading (3 threads in one colour, 1 in another) it is sometimes very hard to design smaller patterns. Therfore one hole is left unthreaded so it is easier to manipulate the turning sequence for cthe desired result. Hope that clarifies?
