I've seen it mentioned a couple of times. Can anyone describe it for me?
Is it where you stand side on to a weave and have the poi circle in front, behind on one side, back in front, behind on your other side? Sort of swapping between forwards and reverswe weave as you go?

If you're not confused, you're not thinking about things hard enough.

Bear in mind that there are 4 waist wraps in front and 4 BTB... probably the ones you're doing are bottom carries but there are also two with top carries where the hand that is reaching across goes on the outside.

I'm doing top carries from left to right btb atm, but I can do all 4 in front, back carry right to left, back carry left to right, top carry left to right, top carry right to left.
I'm new to the whole btb thing, and I have no idea what I'm doing, it just happens!
But anyway, is it 3 circles in front, carry to 3 circles btb, carry to front again?

Yeah it's six circles in total. Can't quite remember how it goes at the moment, but that sounds right

Yup, it's 6 circles, plus the 2 carries. I cracked it last night! Whoo!

a waistwrap is just a 2bt weave to rev 2bt weave in wallpane (btb if you want).
all moves that are made up of even beat weaves to rev weaves in wallplane are usually considered to be in the ww family.
odd beat weaves to rev weaves in wallplane generally are not but are very closely related.
the main difference is that the odd beat weaves will not have a carry (that big stretched out circle that gets you back to the start).
look up the jedi set thread - a 5bt weave to rev 5bt weave btb in wallplane was one of the original jedi 'this is as hard as a three week old scone' moves.

yep
nah - you need to add an extra circle on each side to get a 4 bt ww
easy way: take one of your 2bt ww and do twice the amount of circles everywhere
so, if you were starting on your left say, you would be doing the extra circle wrist wrap (like in 4 and 5 beat weaves) from front to back on your left side, from back to front on your right side, then carry both poi back to the left front to begin again.

Oh right!
So my thing that looks (from the front) like a btb ww, but has 3 beats popping out on the left, then 3 beats on the right... that's just a btb 3bt weave to rev 3bt weave in the wall plane?

So I should be looking to slip in a carry to make it into a proper 4bt ww?

Alright, so, I have relatively small boobs, and when attempting (i think) btb butterfly ww, my poi will sometimes sorta wrap around my boob... I can't even imagine trying to do this with larger boobs!
