Kumihimo - Takadai Braiding Stream - 169 - Gold and Lapis

This is a custom design I'm going for my own personal art growth.
There 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: www.amazon.com/Making-Kumihim...
And here www.alibris.com/search/books/...
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: www.artisanart.biz/Store/index...
The second program is Takadraft, which is can be purchased at Braidershand. braidershand.com/cd-takadraft...

Yup. My shop socks you entire holiday pay if to use any unpaid time off (UTO) the day before and the day after your scheduled time off. You do not get penalized for PTO, incentive hours, lack of work, or your 1 personal holiday a year. Or company tends to have people who just don't care, and so they try to disincentivise unnecessary tardies and call-offs. But often they'll allow you to retroactive some PTO to help out.
