Kumihimo is the braiding of threads into beautiful cords.  It appears to be very intricate and complicated, but really it is a simple, rhythmic, repetitive process.

Miss 6 absolutely loves the kumihimo wheel. She has it down pat. Even took it school to show her class for news. I am looking into some different patterns for round, flat and square braids. 

It is a great pickup/put down type of craft. I have been taking mine in the car and braiding while waiting for the kids at their various activities.  The braids work up quite quickly.  I have found that the embroidery thread cards are handy if you intend on making quite a long braid as it saves alot of time untangling the long threads.  More pics and patterns to come.

Oh here is the link to the seller on eBay where I purchased the Kumihimo disc.
