https://www.auntiesbeads.com/- I had Dena, designer and order filler here at Auntie’s, teach me this wonderful ancient craft. However I was very intimidated by it! Though I worked it several times and even showed one of the kids how to do it, I just never completed anything. So here I go again. Had her give me a refresher course, she showed me how to end them and well now I am addicted to it! I find myself looking for materials to braid with. But I really need to slow my roll and start with the basics. So we started with a simple twist pattern using 8 warp threads. As I learn and Dena’s patients hold out we will add to this series starting with patterns and progressing to beads!
