Kumihimo Week!

 I did so many posts for John Bead this week.  My kumihimo braid collection has expanded!

I think I have the circle braid sorted in my mind now...it is time to move onto the square disk and flat braids.  No doubt there will be a learning curve.  If you want to pop by and see these pieces I have included some links.
