I think most of us embroiderers have other crafts they like to do on the side. I discovered kumihimo braiding and really like it. I can make a bracelet in less than a hour. It it very easy . all you need is a loom and your choice of threads and some time. When done just add your beads and end caps

I was heavily into this about three years ago. I used mainly 6 strand embroidery thread, but I tried all sorts of things. I must have some pictures somewhere.....

Those are really pretty. I've passed along screen shots of these pictures to my sister and she said, "Darn it, I have to go back to town!" We try to do a "girls day" at least once or twice a year and she and I and my daughters all get together and try to make something together. We've made homemade lotion, candles, candy, all kinds of things. This would be perfect for us. Thanks for sharing this--I had never heard of it before.

There are so many possibilities for this craft. It is amazing what can be made on these looms. I have done some reverse style which are so pretty, I used yarns and embroidery floss. Some of the flat styles are also fun to do. You will enjoy finding all the possibilities. There is always another pattern to try.
