Okay, I might be late, but I am declaring 2012 as the Year of The Knot!
It began at the end of 2011.
I learned how to make a friendship bracelet. A series of knots.
Then John Bead released a whole group of hemp strings. I learned a few more knots.
Okay more than a few.
I couldn't stop.
I love a craft that is low tech, Just me, some string and a series of knots.
I was thinking I might be on to something. A new craft that I could take anywhere.
And now KUMIHIMO!
The Japanese art of the knot.
I am venturing down a path to learn this ancient art form.
John Bead is bringing in all the supplies.
I have books en route from Amazon.
Google searches have begun.
Let me know if you are a Kumihimo fan too!
Well that's good.. I just got one of those Kumihimo Disk's for Christmas. Looks like I'll be right on trend for the year of the knot! lol
ReplyDeleteCindy!!! You too? I have a few major deadlines this month...but my mind keeps wandering to all that I might try......yarns and hemp cord mixed with the silk. I have already made two awful cords.....but I am learning!
ReplyDeleteI got my disk early last fall. It is awesome! I love to do the beaded 8 string braid. It looks like bead crochet (which I can't do at all!) and I love that.
