[Nfb-krafters-korner] Friendship Bracelets (was: RE: Kumihimo)

[Denise Shaible]

I read this post and wondered if this is the same type of bracellet I made 
at camp Bloomfield (a blindness camp in the Malibu region).  Do you take two 
strands and wrap them around so they make a knot?  If so, I know how to do 
it.  I made a nice pink one that I use to identify my cane.  Maybe I can try 
it and see if I can be of help to anyone who wants to do it.  I don't know 
the closure, though.  We just made a knot at each end and then tied them 
with a bow.  If there's a more professional way, I'd like to know it.  sorry 
for this long post but, I got excited about it.

Regards,

Denise

I have been planning this too, Cathy, so please share if you do get around
to it.
