I am currently in the midst of discovering a new craft. Well, I use the word 'New' lightly. Kumihimo apparently originates in Japan, and is used to make all sorts of cords, braids, necklaces, purse handles and so much more. There seem to be two main varieties the round, which is pictured here below, and the flat. I am considering purchasing looms for each, these braids were done on a round piece of cardboard with seven strands and a very basic pattern. I am hoping to get into flat Kumihimo soon, not only for the pleasure of putting beads on them (another interest at present) but to see if they can be woven to create extremely attractive items that are also very resilient. 
No matter what you are interested in, or what you like to do, Happy Crafting!
