26 July 2014 - Kumihimo in Key Pattern

 

Another kumihimo experiment, creating a traditional key pattern

that's found as a design element in many cultures around the world.

 

It was sunny this afternoon, creating rainbows

through the crystals hanging in the window.

20 July 2014 - Kumihimo (Japanese Braiding)

 

Beth Kemp's book "Twist, Turn & Tie 50 Japanese Braids" is really excellent.

 

It was a bonus to find the card Kumihimo disk

supplied in a pocket at the back of the book.

 

I used DMC cottons because I already had some.
