Kumihimo - Takadai Braiding Stream - 178 - Kikko Gumi 4 Color
I've swapped out the lights for bluer ones so we shouldn't be so yellow for tonight's stream
This is a 4-color Kikko Gumi 52 tama braid. Kikko (Tortise shell) is a symbol of long life, so I think it fits well as a donation braid for Ian Runkle's (https://www.youtube.com/@RunkleOfTheBailey ) chairty work for the Stollery Children's Hospital https://www.stollerykids.com/
This isn't a counting type braid, so it should run very quickly.
There are 3 books/2 programs to teach how to braid and how to design pickup braids.
First book is Makiko Tada's "Comprehensive Treatise of Braids V - Taka-Dai Braids III" Which is out of print.
Second book, is Rodrick Owen's "Making Kumihimo - Japanese Interlaced Braids."
This book can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Making-Kumihimo-Japanese-Interlaced-Braids/dp/1861083122
And here https://www.alibris.com/search/books/isbn/9781861083128
Third book/first program is Clarie Cassan's "Kumihimo: Nimai Kôrai Gumi, A step-by-step guide to mastering pick-up braids on the Taka-dai" and the associated program you get to use when you buy the book. I like this program the best as it has a step by step playback of the pattern so you can easily braid along with it.
You can find it here: http://www.artisanart.biz/Store/index.html
The second program is Takadraft, which is can be purchased at Braidershand. (Sorry, the url changed, here is the correct one.)
