try some simpler wraps - like swinging circles at your sides and then bringing your chains forward and wrapping your legs. Also try wrapping them aroung your hands to make shorter chains to do smaller butterfly + buzzsaw. Wrapping poles and other objects can also be fun. I am also a newbie so I don't have any advise for that butterfly wrap thang. As for r.weave - it is simpler than you think. Just start with a single poi and visualise it in your head first, you go in the opposite direction. Do this with each hand until you are comfortable. Start forward weave then as you go cross over to your right turn 90 degrees and you should naturally start moving into reverse weave. Reverse butterfly is even simpler. Start with forward b and just simply flop your hands behind your head on your upswing keeping your elbows pointed skyward and alternate. Before you know you will be able to increase your number of beats. happy swinging.

One of the only wraps i do... (cos i aint good at them either)... is just changing the directions of the poi...
so spinning forwards, by ur side, stick ur elbows out and wrap round ur biceps... u can do it both ways, and i find it useful to get to the butterfly from... (wrap with the left, so teh poi are in opposite directions, then into alternate butterfly)
i dunno, its quite fun, and one of the easiest i know... have a go!
