«Yes, that's what makes the braiding work. They have to use the same rhymes so that it can go from aba to aaa, and so on.»
Yes, that's obvious when you see the braid. But until you do... I wasn't alert enough to spot it.
I like braiding. It was one of the first kinds of craft I learned, and I still remember when and how: from Judy Goldstone, who lived in an apartment on the ninth floor when my sister and I were living with our mother in her parents' apartment on the seventh. I was maybe nine or ten myself, and in awe of Judy, who was a couple of years older. "Right over middle, left over middle, right over middle, left over middle..." Later I learned more complicated cordwork with four or more strands.... gimp at summer camp.... ah my, memories.
