This month I will be showing how to do a couple of Kumihimo braids. This is really just
showing the technique rather than an actual project, so don't worry too much about the
supplies. I have small foam braiding disks that will be available for $1.25. You will need to bring a total of 8 yards of yarn, preferably 2 colors or more of a similar, medium weight
(but don't get too crazy about this, bring what you have). That's all you really need to get
started, but it would be helpful if you have 8 plastic bobbins or cheap foam curlers from the
dollar store(just something to roll up extra yarn onto), and some kind of clip for a weight(I think the one I use is sold as a frig. magnet, again from the dollar store). I will bring someextra yarn too, so even if you don't have any of these supplies, come and give it a try. So
to recap:
> Bring:
> $1.25 or braiding disk
> 8 yards of yarn in 2 or more colors
> 8 bobbins OR 8 foam curlers
> some kind of clip or weight
Hope to see most of you soon! Gail May
