I finished the braid at Thursday Art day, along with finishing my Christmas cross stitch ornaments for this year! Actually finished not only one project, but two! Anyway, my first attempt at Kumihimo braiding is not very even, but not too bad. Keeping tension on the braid is key! This pattern is different on each side - the main side has an arrow pattern, while the back is more random. Also, I chose two colors in the cotton yarn, but the darker orange is a synthetic yarn, and it stretched differently, and is also a bit more fuzzy. So, learned some things to do differently next time!
