I have continued to practice my five loop braids and I am now experimenting with different textures. I am also working on maintaining tension in the longer braids; I want to make quite long ones but I can't seem to get the tension even when they are long.

More finger loop braids
Well, the chest infection that apparently never ends turned into pleurisy, and that is why I have been feeling so decidedly ordinary. I feel much less guilty about getting nothing done; although the frustration never goes away.
I have continued to experiment with the five bow fingerloop braids, and I feel like I am starting to see progress. I want to really get the hang of this form before I branch out into other patterns and more bowes. Tension is improving.

Fingerloop Braiding Progress
I have continued to experiment with 5 bowe fingerloop braiding, and have been trying different thicknesses of thread and different tensions. I am really enjoying it and have been surprised at the different results little differences to tension can make.
