All right! A bit more on my Hate Love Relationship with Kumihimo

I realized yesterday that I was turning my disc the wrong way.  It seemed logical at the time.  If I was turning my disc the wrong way, shouldn't the bead go on top instead of on the bottom?
Well, I made this braid with beads doing just that.
Take a look.

 Guess I was wrong.
The bead still needs to go under the thread instead of over.
Oh, well!
I do like this braid, though.  I'm not going to take it apart.
I will make a bracelet out of it.
Stay tuned.  More kumihimo next week. 
Maybe, I'll get it right yet!!

I Hate Beaded Kumihimo, but I LOVE it!!!

If you've followed my blog for a while, 
you will remember a few posts about beaded kumihimo, the garbage can, and elevated levels of stress!
I LOVE the look of beaded kumihimo!
I hate the stress and my inability to make beautiful beaded braids.
Well, the times they are a changing!
Look!
 It's not perfect, but it is a braid!

I'm not sure what I did wrong so that the threads show.
If you can help me, please leave a comment!

All I can say is that it is a start!!!

Stay tuned!!
