Wow.. I was thinking "what am I doing here?" and went down to the comments only to see everyone feeling the same way...
So this is what it feels like being part of something? Feels nice to share the same thoughts with others people for a change.

Hey just a word of friendly advice from someone with experience in the subject, E-6000 is really toxic and the micro particles you take in through breathing the fumes and absorption through skin don't break down well in your body, they just continuously build up in your lipid cells, meaning if you get really sick or get in an accident and then end up losing weight, the E-6000 stored in those cells are re-absorbed into the body and can end up causing severe E-6000 toxicity, this can cause liver and kidney failure. I highly advise using gloves, a respirator and being in a very well ventilated room/outside whenever using E-6000. I took the warning labels as lightly as you seem to be and I am now months and months into dealing with the repercussions and it doesn't look as though I'm close to being 100% again.

why is this in my recommendeds

i don't know what's going on but i love it and i want it

[grace-ukhj]

Why am I even here? I don’t have a kumi whatever disk and the closest thing to that cord I have is embroidery thread

[sukisenpai]

I was just looking for some new music to listen to, idk how I ended up here but I’m not complaining

[lizzymoore]

This disc makes it simple to make this beautiful braided bracelet. Love it! You can curl your hair with the bobbins, by the way.

[drossMA]

As you were describing how to move the cords, I started laughing, and here's why: your sequence is easier to remember than others I was taught.
Translating yours, I get Left Up, Right Down, Turn or *"LURD, Turn"* - it's silly but easy.
I was taught to go Top Down, Bottom Up, Turn (TDBU, Turn) by one person and BUTD, Turn (BUTD, Turn) by another. Neither of these is as easy to remember as yours.
Thank you!

I really enjoy kumihimo until the dreaded "adding of the clasp"-this always gives me the heebeejeebees-it's usually then when a huge goof happens-like the end of the braid won't fit into the end of the clasp connector, that's my signal to put it down and try it again later. Thanks for sharing this 24 warp pattern with us.

[mmmmarks]

love it, i'm just starting with Kumihimo and looking for thicker cords, will now be buying some s-lon cord and give it a go.

[dededexter]

Are you sure the blue and purple are in correct order - they seem to be in incorrect compared to rest of pattern.

[mandicoleman]

That's cool! Many years ago my dad was a boy scout leader n we did flat breads similar. Those were the days!

[constancekrischan]

Very nice instructions, easy to follow. I’m glad that you can sell me the KUMI discs and any supplies I may want.

[williambuck]

Just a tip glue before cutting and use wire cutters to cut then it has no chance of coming undone and its easy to put the hardened end in the caps

[BubuMarimba]

I've always admired that level of precision and patience...

[CCLXII]

Step by step instructions were brilliant. Thanks much 🙏

[lauramartin]

Years I did this with a smaller size. And used embroidery floss. Worked ok. So you can do it. Length was my issue what to cut things.. thanks for sharing

[junebrown]

That was something really special! I have never seen this before but I know that in the near future I would love to have a go at it. Many thanks for this tutorial.

[addictedtohemp]

Excellent video! I just needed a refresher video and this was perfect! Great job!

[shannon]

so happy to see what i can do with all the cord i have... thanks a lot..

[thisisme]

I used to make these using a cardboard disk and embroidery thread...
