nah it's just like doing up a load of spokes :)
once you have the pattern right you can't really go wrong

it's easier than knitting. and your gran can do that

The thing thatt helps is how much you tighten the spokes when you first lace the wheel up, I try to leave about 5 threads showing on all the spokes, then go all the way around one side giving 1 full turn of the nipples, then the same on the other side, then after that about half a turn of the nipples on each side separatly, then I true it up, and then go around again giving all the spokes the same amount of turn to tighten it right up, easy  :daumenhoch:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'
