Ok so i took up a hobby that also has its origins in japan. Kumihimo braiding. My little foam disk came in yesterday and so i tried it out with yarn right away, i made a basic black and white spiral cord around 10 inches or 25 cm.
Since it worked well on my first try i broak out some nice satin rattail i bought last week end to prepare for this awsome event and poped in a movie and began to weave. Watched 1 and 1/2 movie... the first movie was so depressing that i had to stop it and watch something much more light hearted... so around 3-4 hours later i found i had enough woven to work as an obijime so i cut off all the bobbins(made it so much easier not having to untangle it every few moves) and tied anouther knot and proclaimed it as done.
I used 8 diffrent colors... and each bobin can really only make 1 obijime so i guess i can make some bracelets or necklaces or shorter cords for any new kinchaku bags i deside to make. oh well it works, i can do it and it looks great!
