#Kumihimo

[tanuki-kimono]

Chic antique summer kimono with kotoji (koto bridge) and kumihimo (breaded cords) over akikusa (autumn plants) calm blue ground.

I wonder if the cords over the 絽 ro fabric (a type of open weave used for summer items) is supposed to mimic misu (bamboo blinds):

Two more kumihimo, this time from a gorgeous sunflowery yarn by @craft_by_bella 😁 They have specially dyed some of this yarn for me so I can make some crochet works for my Sunflower & Citrus Collection. There are two as I have kumihimo’d one with random colour and the other by lining up the gradient across all eight threads. I have plans to play with more patterns 😁 I might be slightly kumihimo crazy at the moment 😁

Just sharing my Kumihimo journey~ One of my absolute favorite crafts! I know many people use Kumihimo (knowing or unknowingly) for friendship bracelets, but these cords are DURABLE, I use them for all sorts of things all over the house 🤭

One of them became a favorite bracelet of mine~

These were all made last year and already I can see a big difference in my hands looking back at these images, absolutely wild. Alt text and random info attached to the images.

Japanese Kumihimo Noodles

"Okado Somen" from Toyama Prefecture is made using traditional methods that have been passed down for over 170 years since the Edo period, when the noodle-making techniques were passed down as a purveyor to the Kaga Domain . It is a high-quality hand-stretched somen noodle made by hand by artisans.

The dried noodles produced using the techniques of Daimon Somen are called " Kumihimo ."

Skilled craftsmen carefully knead high-quality wheat flour with the famous waters of the Shogawa River, let it mature, and then repeatedly roll the noodles into lovely flower shapes.

Although the noodles have a beautiful and delicate appearance, they are characterized by their firmness and silky smooth texture.

Hey Guys,

Back with another post!

I always love making kumihimo projects because the process of weaving is actually quite therapeutic and relaxing. Beaded kumihimo is what I love the most but now and again I like to switch things up and increase the number of cords I use. You can create some really intricate patterns that way. Anyway, here's the bag charm, I love how it turned out!

I hope you like it too!

Enjoy! Until next time, keep creative!

So I've been using my triple latch hooks to make eyecord, then using that eyecord to make kumihimo necklaces, which are now up on my etsy! Take a gander if you please

Ok, the braids are coming along nicely. :)

It’s slow work but I love this pattern.

This colour combo is brought to you by: the agonies of choice. And also lemon curd.

To whom it may concern I invented a little stitch counter for kumihimo weaving because I can’t remember where I am in a pattern to save my life

Just some cardboard, yarn and as many beads are you need for that pattern

Did I teach myself how to make a kumihimo braid just because I started watching My Happy Marriage today?

Yes. Yes, I did. It's thin and not the same pattern or exact colors, but for what I had on hand, it's not terrible for a first try. The method is surprisingly simple, just 8 steps repeated again and again.

I cut the disc out of cardboard. I had to change the numbers to match the diagram (pen is the final arrangement).

Here is the finished design! I lost it at work so I'll have to make a new one...

Have spent a good part of the weekend finalising this bracelet and designing some new kumihimo earrings 😁 These were made from the gorgeous @threetreesfibrecrafts Fledgling 4ply Sock ‘Summer Sunset’ 😁

I get some inspiration from @lulubellule-kfp 's comic. Again
