The girls soon got the hang of it and were very busy.
Already on braid number 2!
One braid already to be finished off.
Some of the braids made by the afternoon class. They were very productive!
One or two also had time to make a pretty bracelet!
I think they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves and are going away with new found skills. I love passing on skills to the next generation. What have you passed on?
Very impressive, I wouldn’t know where to start !!!
It is easy once you know how.
Looks like great fun.
Exhausting too!
Fantastic! They look gratifying 🙂
They are. 🙂
Looks like they had a great time. It look like a very relaxing craft. Might have to try it…. xx
I should. It is really great. xx
I’ve done this with my daughter. It’s deceptively simple for a complicated looking make itsn’t it?
it so is. Partly why I love it. xx
this looks such a great skill to pass on.. wish i knew how to do it.. 😀 the outcome looks fabulous. 😀
It isn’t hard at all.
How lovely where do you find those and how do the work?
Thanks for the roblog. I got the discs from Spoilt rotten beads but most bead shops will sell them. Hope that answers your question?
Yes thanks now all I have to do is find a bead shop in Saskatoon.
Reblogged this on Zankaj's Blog.
I’ve always called it french knitting – never knew it had a different name! Where did you get your big disks from, I only have tiny ones!
I think that french knitting is something a bit different? https://knitnrun4sanity.wordpress.com/2013/06/02/french-knitting/ I got the Kumihimo disks from a bead shop called Spoilt Rotten Beads but most bead shops will sell them.
Love this, it reminds me of the pin doll I had as a kid which made a round long string only I wouldn’t remember how to do it now
Thanks. I think you mean Nancy knitting or french knitting? I have done this with wire recently: https://knitnrun4sanity.wordpress.com/2013/06/02/french-knitting/
I’d love to do more crafty things with my children – looks fab!
It takes patience but it is really worth it…;)
What a great way to spend an afternoon, I bet they will love making these in the future to share with their friends!
Judging by their book bags it seems that they have really caught the blog already 🙂
They are lovely! Very intricate! 🙂
Thank you so much 🙂
Thank you very much. xx
That’s really great – and I love passing down knowledge.
It is such a lovely feeling – especially when they come up to you and show you all the lovely things they have then made on their own 🙂
