Braiding
Dora it is night and my dreams are waithing for me to put them on,,,,,
thus in the morning i will see which books etci would recomend , also called all book loaners and asked that the kids / books should returned home !!!! mirjam ps braids are easier with odd numbers of threads ,,, Wow, that's amazing. Right now I am just doing simple 8 strands myself. I really enjoy doing it tho. I have been checking out some other peoples work on the internet and some of it is so impressive. I love the ones done in silk (I want to use my angora ONLY because I have tons of it because of my bunnies but I know it wont give me that fine detail that silk does. Still it should be pretty enough for me and my daughter.) Do you have any books that you would recommend for a beginner at this? Thanks again, Dora Renee' Wilkerson |

Yep Els taught me too....and now I've used all sorts of yarns, my multi
coloured hand spun made brill braids... made lots of things, from keyrings to bag straps, dog leashes you can use harder yarns or other mediums and make table mats...maybe Els will see this post and come in, or email this lady directly. I had a stool here just being used to hold a plant pot, it now has a hole in the centre so if I need it I have one that has a multiple use...lol it is fun.....higz Cher "Katherine" wrote in message ups.com...

Anyway, I just wanted to see if others on here did this. I posted about it on my blog so if anyone is intersted in seeing what I am talking about your more then welcome to check it out herehttp://bricoreandfamily.blogspot.com/2007_08_06_archive.html I hope you all have a wonderful day! Dora Renee' Wilkerson I love it! I don't do it often, but I learned right here on this group. Els from British Columbia taught me, and it is great fun. I am not nearly as good as others, but I enjoy it anyhow. g Higs, Katherine |

I so want to learn more on how to do more with it. I was thinking about making up reins for my horses. Then I also wanted to make long braids just like you do when you are making a braided rug and sew them together.. So, much I want to try! Now THAT is ambitious! I hope you succeed. Higs, Katherine |

Hi Dora,
Els also taught me a while back, although I had forgotten about it until your post. I mainly crochet as a craft, although I have several creative "outlets" - my main one for the past 3 months has been writing plug-ins for an audio editor. Have fun! David -- David R.
