Kumihimo: Japanese Silk Braiding Techniques (Basic Marudai Braids)

Rating:
Summary: at last
Review: After waiting some time for the release of this book I was both presently surprised and at the same time slightly disappointed.I would definately recommend this book to a beginner of braiding as the reading is interesting and the diagrams easy to follow. The only disappointment is that more than half of the braids pictured are for looking at only. No instructions!!!!How frustrating. None of the braids on the front and back covers are included in the instructions. The basic braiding techniques for all are obviously in the book but if I could work out for myself how to achieve them why would I have sent half way round the world for a book???
