I started it OFF the handle, and then put it on the handle for more weaving and tightening.
Scooting it up the stems.
Levering it up over the tops of the wrap thongs with my fid.
Now I have the turk's head mostly in the right spot. I like the look of this knot with three passes. As the knot became fuller with more and more passes it became harder to thread the end of the lace through the knot. Here you can see the very end as I complete the last section that has only two passes with the third and final pass. I'll bury the end of this pass under the knot.
