What this tradition does with an object like this — how it is used, not a promise about what follows.
How it is used
1Read before it is used. That is the whole instruction.
Working it properly
The craft under the instructions — direction, count and order. This is the part that is normally only said across a counter.
Read to the end of the working before the first step of it. That is the whole instruction and it is the one most often skipped.
Books on this shelf disagree with each other, which is not a fault — practice is regional. Where two differ, the tradition is to follow the house you learned in.
What people get wrong
Working from a page you have not read to the end of.
