Waterstones ReadCraft: The traditional craft of kumihimo requires few materials to get started, and this inspirational introduction will leave you itching to try it out. Adaptable to complement and embellish any number of other crafts. Sue Parnell, Derby branch First published as Beginner's Guide to Braiding - The Craft of Kumihimo back in 1997, here is a brand new reprint with a user-friendly spiral spine so the book opens flat. We in the west are used to buying our braids, but with a little effort and a few items you can make your own, unique ones. Of course you need a marudai first and foremost, and there is a helpful illustration for you to show to a carpenter, or the author sells them herself (where mine came from!) There is a comforting picture too of a simple homemade one so you can find out how you feel about kumihimo before committing yourself which is a nice touch. I've had the original book since it first came out and can testify that it did not take me long to make my first braid; at the end of the same afternoon I held it in my hands and indeed still have it. There are lots of really simple diagrams to get you started, as well as plenty of very clear photographs showing the process. Here too are lots of lovely braids in a variety of color combinations and instructions to make every single one. At the back there is not a gallery, just two pages showing a few applications of the braids. This is a highly practical, user-friendly guide to a little-known craft that anybody who wants to make braids is going to find indispensable.-Myshelf.com Previously published in 1997 as Beginner's Guide to Braiding, the text remains the same but there is a very useful change to the binding which makes the reissue worthwhile in my opinion. It has a spiral binding allowing you to open it and work easily without having to place a weight on the pages to keep them open. It is a true manual or working guide. As a relative newcomer to kumihimo I was keen to see if the text lived up to this excellent practical format. The answer is a resound 'yes'. Every step is explained very clearly with good diagrams and photographs. Anything slightly complicated, such as the traditional knot used to tie the warp to the bobbin lead, is given an alternative version. This is particularly important for students working by themselves. After taking you through the first project of a simple square braid, Jacqui Carey continues with detailed instructions for round, flat, honeycomb and others. Each is illustrated in the same clear way with suggestions for variations to give the project individuality. [This] book will give you an excellent introduction and allow you to explore further with confidence. Lesley Prior (Online Guild)-Journal for Weavers Spinners & Dyers Kumihimo braiding is a traditional craft worked with threads on bobbins strung over a marudai, a donut-shaped disk on four legs. Threads are laid in sequence to form the braid pattern. Filled with photos and diagrams showing the sequences for each project, this book was previously published in England as Beginner's Guide to Braiding.-Library Journal USA As I have had little previous knowledge of braiding, I reviewed this book as a complete novice. The book dictates that it is designed for the beginner and I felt that it fulfilled this criteria. The clear step by step photographs were easy to follow and descriptions of equipment needed was straightforward, with homemade variations available for those who may wish to experiment without the necessity of buying traditional equipment. The only complicated part appeared to be getting your head around the various balances and weights but once that had been mastered the projects could be attempted without much difficulty.-West Country Embroiderers

Format:Spiralbindung
Jacqui Carey weiß, wie man gute Handarbeitsbücher schreibt! Genauso wie ihr Buch "200 braids to twist, knot, loop or weave" ist dieses in etwa A5-Größe und mit einer Ringbindung versehen. Wenn man eine Seite aufschlägt, bleibt sie also auch aufgeschlagen.
Nach der Inhaltsangabe befindet sich eine kurze Einführung und eine Materialbeschreibung, alles sehr gut beschrieben und reich bebildert. Danach geht es mit deiner genauen Beschreibung, wie man die Fäden zum Weben vorrichtet, weiter. Frau Carey beschreibt die einzelnen Handgriffe so genau, dass man nicht umhin kann, an Zen-Bewegungen zu denken. Gleichwohl: ich bin sicher, dass die Befolgung der Anleitung Zeit und Ärger spart, schließlich entspringen die Bewegungen aus jahrhundertelanger Erfahrung.
Nun kommt das Weben selbst. Schematische Darstellungen der zu bewegenden Fäden zusammen mit einer Vielzahl an Bildern macht das Verständnis leicht (und mir auch gleich mal meinen ersten Fehler klar: ich habe den Anfängerfehler begangen, immer nur einzelne Fäden zu bewegen und habe dabei die Bewegungs-Symmetrie der Faden-Paare übersehen). Zusätzlich gibt Frau Carey auch immer wieder Anregungen, sich selbst Muster auszudenken.
Mein Fazit: ein schönes Buch, das ich sicher auch später als Nachschlage-Werk nutzen werde - es ist jeden Cent wert.

If you own the "Beginner's guide to Braiding, The Craft of Kumihimo" 1997, then skip this one.....
8. April 2009
Format:Spiralbindung
Unless you absolutely NEED a spiral bound copy of the book, don't bother. It's an almost exact copy (some images are moved about for space on the pages and the numbers don't EXACTLY correspond ie-pg. 30 is not the same in both books) of the "Beginner's guide to Braiding, The Craft of Kumihimo" Beginner's Guide to Braiding: The craft of Kumihimo published in 1997 in Britain and later in the US.
The reviews listed below the book now, were NOT there when this book became available for preorder (I placed my preorder in January 2009). Had they been, I could have surmised that this book was a reprint of a 1997 edition based on the ages of the reviews.. I really dislike the fact that the book has been retitled, giving no indication of its previous title, nor any reference to the other ISBN.
When I placed my preorder on this book, Ms. Carey had NO information about this incarnation of this edition, no mention that this was a reprinted/rebound copy of an earlier book, on her website. I -love- her books, they're outstanding, but how many copies of one book do I REALLY require on my shelf or on my workbench? In addition, Amazon did not have any further information indicating it was a reprint either.
Ms. Carey has done this with another book as well "200 Braids to Twist, Knot, Loop or Weave" (published in the US in 2007, Interweave Press 200 Braids to Twist, Knot, Loop, or Weave) and "The Braider's Bible" (published in Britain in 2007, Search Press Ltd.The Braider's Bible).
Not at all fun to realize that the book you purchased, believing it was a UK-Only edition, is actually a copy of what you already had on the shelf. And because it came from the UK, I cannot easily return it (I'd end up spending enough to purchase the book between the original shipping and return shipping).
While I understand that Amazon may not know that these are the exact same books, I do expect the publisher and ESPECIALLY the author, to note that they are exact copies of each book, just rebound with a DIFFERENT TITLE, ISBN and different cover.
The book is beautiful, and if you find that you need a spiral copy of "Beginner's guide to Braiding, The Craft of Kumihimo" 1997, great! At least go into this and spend your money on something knowing what it was originally packaged as. It gets a 1-star for lack of disclosure and reference to a prior edition.
PLEASE NOTE: I rated the spiral bound edition of Japanese Braiding: The Art of Kumihimo, but because they've now linked BOTH titles, it shows up as a bad review of the Beginner's Guide to Braiding: The craft of Kumihimo, which was absolutely NOT my intent. My review ONLY concerns the spiral-bound, newly retitled and newly re-released copy of Japanese Braiding: The Art of Kumihimo.

This book is a very good example of the various methods of working with kumihimo, the Japanese form of braiding. The procedures are well explained with excellent photos to accompany the explanations.

Good Introduction to Kumihimo
22. Februar 2011
Format:Spiralbindung
Jacqui demonstrates Japanese kumihimo using the wooden marudai to demonstrate braiding. But if you don't want to buy an expensive marudai just to try this craft, she shows you some ways of using everyday objects to make your own marudai and bobbins. Really, you don't need to invest a lot of money into this hobby to get started and make some nice braids. The foam disks are a good alternative to the wooden marudai for beginners and they are inexpensive. You can make every braid in this book using the foam disks. I've already tackled several and my results are good.
This book has a lot of color photographs that show the braiding steps in detail as well as different braids you can make. The close-ups of how the warp patterns look during various stages of the braiding process are very helpful because as a beginner it's easy to mix up the braiding steps. Although the instructions are not overly complicated, you'll need to pay attention and become familiar with how the instructions show you to load the marudai (disk) and how to move the threads. It doesn't take long to learn, but be patient when you start.
Jacqui shows just a few braiding moves in this book, but depending on your color choices and how you thread your marudai you can create a wide variety of patterns. The book shows you how to use different thicknesses of thread or yarn and shows some examples that use ribbon or incorporate pre-made cords into the braids.
I recommend this book as a first book for learning kumihimo. The braids in this book are all made with 8 threads and you will be able to make all of them with a small amount of practice.
Tip: I'm using the foam disks, but I made my own weight bag and filled it with glass stones like the ones they use for floral decorations. You can change the weight of the bag easily and the smooth stones won't tear through the bag.
