Roks are *very* easy to build. Nothing neater than something you've made! My first 6 footer is one of my favorite single lines, though I also rather like the set of 6' kites we made for the KAK's fighting forays. Break out the sewing machine and give it a whirl...6-5-4, that's all you really need to know! ;-) Jeff (who will, however, admit that he was rather enamored of Ty's "Black Pearl") -- |Jeffrey C.

This is my first post to the newsgroup. I've been lurking for a few weeks and just haven't posted yet. Greetings and nice to meet all of you. so much for the formalities. question... There was a vendor in Wildwood that was selling some cool roks that were like tie-dyed with a black pearl motif. Does anyone know who he is and how to contact him? Or does anyone have any other suggestions where I can get some neat rokkakus. I have almost 2 dozen kites and not a single rok. Thanks!

I sense some subtle encouragement to start sewing. I feel kinda weak to resist. I find it really fascinating. I'm also getting a lot of encouragement from Adam Grow too. Oh oh! I could be in trouble here. Besides, I do like to make things. I'm sinking deeper. So, roks are easy to make? 6-5-4? Is that all there is to it? JB> (who will, however, admit that he was rather enamored of Ty's "Black JB> Pearl") It sure is a pretty one. I think I may get one of his kites. See you on the Mall!!
