Finished adding text to the scanned step-by-step images for the creeper knot. A relatively lonely knot in the Chinese knotting pantheon, it seems to have been not embraced by Japanese or Korean artisans (I have found no mentions and hence no translations). Even Ashley has no mention of it although I did find an extension, the caterpillar knot.
Finished up the instructions for the double coin knot (雙錢結, 淡路結び).
Lately I’ve been working on many different things and for some reason not finishing any of them. sigh
Things to buy
The Adachi Kumihimo shop/gallery (安達くみひも館) in Kyoto. Some shop products including marudai, kakudai, takadai, tama and silk</a>

You see the pictures of Korean braiding stands from time to time. The hard core Korean knot tyers braid their own cord. It’s a beautiful piece of machinery and just as a sculptural object, nifty looking. I have yearned after one for years.
