Hi Jan (and others here), I've just started reading this ng thanks to a tip from Shirley Shone - we met on
rec.crafts.textiles.yarn (I crochet and have been working other materials into my crochet work). Jan, it sounds like
you have great local kumihimo support - one woman in particular on rcty, Els, is the "kumihimo monster" of
rcty (a la cookie monster of Sesame Street) - we both live on the west coast of Canada, she's sending me an
introductory kumihimo kit. I don't recall ever having seen kumihimo when I was sighted but do enjoy learning new
activities. :) Cheers, David Vancouver, Canada On Fri, 21 Jul 2006, Jan G wrote: [quote:52e60bf311]I took a class

Rio Grande has a necklace in their catalogue made with semi precious beads, I think peridot is one. Anyway, they are
beaded over rubber and expensive. I want to try to get the effect with kumihono Have found a neighbour, we live in the
country, so she is about two miles away who also has the equipment, plus spare bobbins and books. She has just moved
house so has to find where she put them. She loved my necklace and got excited about possibilities. At last, someone
who wants to bead living near me. Cheers, Jan [/quote:52e60bf311]
