A trans pride bracelet I made myself from a kit gifted to me several years ago. I've gotten so into kumihimo lately, it's so relaxing. Keeps my hands busy.

Look,

I sew, knit, crochet, macrame and kumihimo. I understand those things.

Still, I look at Quilts and Spun yarn, and freehand Embroidery, and Amigurumi - and my brain screams 'WHAT MAGIC IS THIS!?'

What yarn / thread-craft makes your brain go 'boing' despite knowing how the fundamentals work ?

[Yes I know Amigurumi is knitting / crotchet but it's also structural sculpting which is different to flat piece or loom knitting]

I've ordered what I thought were silicone #kumihimo bobbins but those are hard plastic bobbins for some old Singer sewing machines, just look really similar. Meanwhile I realized that a simple cardboard shape would work just as well.
Not easy to cut out, so I also 3d printed one. Plastic slit hold less than cardboard but using both slits, it works fine.
I have transferred all 8 sewing bobbins of thin yarn to these cards and am ready to start #braiding :)

Made this #kumihimo braid last night to garland the Buddha on my altar- the five colours represent the five #Buddha families which each have multiple and rich symbolic associations! Had to start over twice because I kept forgetting my place in the braiding pattern but it turned out well in the end, I think!

“Japan is home the original #art of #braiding known as #kumihimo that got its start in the Asuka and Nara Periods (538-794CE) and continues to be in use to the present day. With the use of multicolored #threads, a single kumihimo cord takes quite some time to produce, yet it has never played a leading role in the world of traditional #handicrafts. Rather it served as an essential decoration, an accessory which has always served to add a splash of color to #Japanese culture.”

If I disappear from here for a few days, it’s a sure bet I’m up to something…

So, after asking about ways to keep my hands busy instead of using my phone as a fidget stim I came across #kumihimo, or Japanese braiding. I was reluctant to try #crafting again as I haven’t had much luck with crochet or knitting in the past, but I was surprised at how easy it was to do the basic braid and even my minuscule attention span could settle long enough to complete a bracelet! Intriguing 🤔

十六丸源氏組です。色の配置を変えて6種類を作りました。
この十六丸源氏は室町時代の鎧兜の紐として使われており古い時代の組み方です。

全部同じ組み方なのに、色の配置を変えるだけで変化が出ます。
4面に糸を置いていくとV字となり、それを重ねて組んでいきます。鎧兜の紐に使われていただけあって固くてしっかりした組み紐となりました。
赤と黄色で出た模様は破魔矢の羽の部分の形なので縁起物の形となります。

I've seen #kumihimo #braiding before but weaving is more interesting to me, I like braiding by hand and what would I do with those cords? Well, weaving has more involved setup and needs more light, I found that braiding thin yarns hurts my pinkies because they have to be bent out of the way the whole time. And, I can braid candle wicks 😎 And also can print the tool easily if I'm lucky to have 1.5h of power straight. So welcome to the flock of my hobbies 😉 #KyivPowerCut
