In a recent class, the students were stumped on the tangle MARASU, and so we started at the beginning a few times, and reconsidered how to approach the tangle to make it click. Every tangler has a different feel for tangles, what works for them, what frustrates them. Some tangles you can fall into, and some you never want to try again.

With so many patterns in the world, and so many that have been deconstructed into tangle step outs – there is no reason to spend time on the ones that are a frustration. Let it go and move on to a tangle that suits you today, in this moment.
