Kumihimo - Takadai Setup Stream - 32 Andrea Burkhart Edition

This is the 3rd setup stream. We're at 40 tama done. 60 more to setup.

This braid is for Andrea Burkhart. https://www.youtube.com/@aburkhartlaw
With any luck, Andrea may be dropping in this stream tonight. Looking forward to being able to chat with her.

here are 3 books/2 programs to teach how to braid and how to design pickup braids.

First book is Makiko Tada's "Comprehensive Treatise of Braids V - Taka-Dai Braids III" Which is out of print.

Second book, is Rodrick Owen's "Making Kumihimo - Japanese Interlaced Braids."

This book can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Making-Kumihimo-Japanese-Interlaced-Braids/dp/1861083122

And here https://www.alibris.com/search/books/isbn/9781861083128

Third book/first program is Clarie Cassan's "Kumihimo: Nimai Kôrai Gumi, A step-by-step guide to mastering pick-up braids on the Taka-dai" and the associated program you get to use when you buy the book. I like this program the best as it has a step by step playback of the pattern so you can easily braid along with it.

You can find it here: http://www.artisanart.biz/Store/index.html

The second program is Takadraft, which is can be purchased at Braidershand. https://braidershand.com/cd-takadraft-2-0-digital-download.
