Kumihimo cords

I'm still not getting much done at all except for puppy related activities. Lack of sleep is not helping either. It's hard to imagine at this point that one day she will be able to sit calmly beside me while I sew!

Cord making is about all I am able to attempt at the moment without Kamikaze style attacks ensuing. These were done on a Kumihimo disk. This is the simplest 8 cord, round cord pattern which is worked in pairs (so there are 4 sets of cords on the disk at noon, six, three and nine).

Award Cord Project

Paperwork and admin has been keeping me busy lately. I haven't had much time, but I have been able to be able to continue working on the award cord project. The ones below are simple three strand braids. It is a simple technique but effective. The tension is quite tight, which results in a firm braid, and the result is nice.
