Tying the VT the right way????

[The Lawn Shark]

On page 33 of the 2008 sherrill catalog they show it tied different then in the tree climbers companion on page 85,which one is correct???
What I'm talking about is where the first braid starts....
In the sherrill book they show the end that comes down from the top coil and starts to make the first braid, it goes behind the other end instead of in front like it shows in the companion?????

I recently retired the blakes. Then i went to do petty job and forgot my tenex so I had to use the Blakes one more time. Man what a difference. The V.T grabs so much better.
