Carry of the Month; November: Traditional Sling Carry (TSC)

Carry of the Month is an ongoing feature for the BWIP blog and Facebook group. Each month one of the VBEs will choose a wrap carry or carrier to showcase and write a blog post with instructions or videos. At our monthly meetings throughout the valley, we will designate time to demonstrate the carry or carrier in person and answer your questions. Feel free to join in on the fun! Post pictures of you trying out the COTM in the comments here or on the Facebook group. Check out the bottom of this post for the prize raffled off for participation this month! 

This month we are featuring a Traditional Sling Carry (TSC) that can be worn on your hip or your front. This is a single pass carry that can be great for quick ups and downs. Many people think it feels similar to wearing a ring sling. Most of the "work" of this carry involves tying the slip knot. If your not familiar with a slip knot yet, it's a great tool to have in your wrapping toolbox. You can finish off several carries with a slip knot and it makes for quick adjusting and tightening. This carry is usually done with a size 2 or 3 wrap, but can be done with a longer wrap which will hang down with longer tails. Demonstrating this carry is one of our wonderful new VBEs, Lauren Maynard. Thanks Lauren!
