As I Kumi Along

Sep 30, 2008 15:11

Still working on the Kumihimo--man, this stuff is deceptively difficult. I'm finding the hollow braid, which consists of a total of 4 movements to accomplish a set, a real challenge! Now I'm following the instructions given in "Beginner's Guide to Braiding: The Craft of Kumihimo" by Jacqui Carey. This book is no longer in print, but Amazon ( Read more... )

Yeah... that made my brain feel squishy. I think I'll go back to trying to teach myself to crochet, if I can get past jabbing myself with the hook.

Jabbing yourself with the hook? Are you sure you're using the right end? Or even the right hook? :-P

Next time you're back here, bring it with you, and we'll work on it together, okay? Crocheting can't be hard, I can do it!

Of course I'll bring it with me! I have to have SOMETHING to do on that 13 hour flight. It hurt me last time when I flew back to TX... I think I'm getting too old for flights around the world.

I just have long nails and I keep catching the hook under my nail and poking myself. No blood has been drawn... yet, don't put it past me.
