"Hurry" is one of my favorite official tangles to draw and the step-out is found HERE. I can think of a couple of possible reasons for the name. One could be because it looks a bit like freeway overpasses crossing each other. Or, maybe they called it "Hurry" because it's quick to draw. With a lot of official tangles, you have to rotate your tile after each stroke. With this one, you draw six strokes before turning the tile with the exception of the first step. Your drawing is done in a hurry because you don't have to turn your tile as much. Having said that, I really have no idea how they came up with the name.
There are videos about this tangle HERE, HERE and HERE.
On a YouTube video Maria explained the name. They try very hard to find non-representation names for their tiles, but she got this pattern from a rush chair seat and decided on 'hurry' instead of 'rush'.
ReplyDeleteI did hear her say that during the Twelve Days of Zentangle series.
