My first takadai braid

Monday, April 4th, 2005

We received our takadai back in January, but we set it up in a room we don’t usually heat so it has been too cold to work in there till recently. We have finally finished our first braid. Most of it is my work, but Rys used up the end of the warp.

The edges are wavy and my beat was not as consistent as I’d like, but I’m happy with it as a first attempt. We have our first lesson in June, so I hope I will do better after that. Meanwhile, I will have fun muddling along on my own, working from books.
